Investment

Experience shows that over the long term you’re more likely to enjoy better returns from investments than you would from savings. However, striking the correct balance between risk and reward is key and, while choosing the amount and the manner in which you invest is entirely up to you, your E&G adviser will help you. Your adviser can also help you take steps to limit exposure to investment value fluctuations.

Equity Release

We’ll help you release tax-free cash from your home without your having to sell or move out. The amount you can release is based on your age and the value of your home. You can receive your money as a single lump sum or a series of smaller sums and you may use the money in any way you like, including to help your children buy their own home, to deal with money worries, to pay off your own loans or just to have extra funds that you can enjoy in retirement.

Pensions

Life changes when you retire and so does the way you use your money. Repaying a mortgage and commuting costs associated with work may be
replaced by leisure activity and it’s never too late to take the steps to increase your retirement savings. Whatever your plans may be, it’s important to think about the lifestyle you want. Even if you already have a private or workplace pension, we’ll help you find an additional pension that will help to supplement your retirement income.

Wills & Probate

Have you been putting off writing a will? You’re not alone. Fewer than 4 out of 10 UK adults have written a will, saying it’s too complicated, too expensive or it’s not a priority. But without a will, you forfeit control of your wishes in the event of your death. This could mean your loved ones or intended beneficiaries receive nothing. We’ll help you take care of the future for your own peace of mind, respect for your wishes and for the security of your loved ones.
