BUSINESS ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE At Core Financial Services Ltd, we believe the need for financial advice is now… This is first and foremost a people business and the skilled professionals working within our company are trained to understand what our clients’ needs are and how to address them by giving the right financial advice and support. The most important part of our business is our clients and ensuring that they receive the high level of service that they have come to expect. Our aim is for our clients to look forward to enjoying a long, healthy and happy retirement which is free from financial worry, and therefore the priority is to provide solid pensions and investments to form the foundations of their better life ahead. This is why we developed Navigator to help our clients plot the best course for their pensions and investments. The aim of our funds management programme is to minimise their losses through bad times and maximise their gains throughout the good. With the pension budget changes on “Freedom and Choice in Pensions” affecting many of you, the need for financial advice is now greater than ever. One of the major changes in the budget which will interest most of you is the ability to take your entire pension fund as a lump sum on reaching age 55. You will still be able to take 25% of the fund value as a tax-free lump sum with the remainder being subject to tax at your marginal rate of income tax. Having this flexibility in your pension withdrawal opens up many interesting planning ideas and the need for pensions planning is even more evident for reaching and maintaining your financial goals for the future. 141 In addition we have assisted many of our clients to buy their first home and protect their family.
