Second opinions matter: how we perform an investment health check

Feb 2, 2021 | Financial Planning, Retirement Planning, Savings

We offer a free, entirely without obligation second opinion on your financial planning, pension and investment portfolio.

Independent second opinion on your finances

If you have concerns about how your finances are currently structured, worried about your pension or your investment portfolio’s performance, we will review them and give you an independent second opinion for free and without obligation.

Why do we do this?

Not many people are not familiar with finance, the complexity of pensions or cross border regulatory and tax issues. Who has time to pick through and verify all that information and conditions?

Our free appraisal gives people the peace of mind that they are following good advice. We add value by offering suggestions, making recommendations, and always spot something on every portfolio we assess. The advice is entirely without obligation and you can discuss it with your existing adviser as one of your options. The Michele Carby Practice gains because we discover poorly advised people who become our clients.

If a free independent review of financial planning would be valuable to you, please book a call with me so we can introduce ourselves and see how I can help.

At the Michele Carby Practice, we offer a free second opinion on all investment portfolios. These are conducted personally by Michele Carby and Payal Trehan, our Senior Investment Strategist.
