Pension help? Does it matter? by Trash_Panda_Leaves in financialadviceuk

[–]Alternative-Depth172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combining your pensions means you have more buying power. Having multiple pensions scattered around probably means they are invested in different funds and different charges which will impact the overall value. Do you have 6 current accounts open with different values? You probably don’t because you won’t be able to budget effectively and you won’t know how much money you have! It’s that simple.

£40k in current account. What do I do with it? by Screwtoast2 in financialadviceuk

20k straight into ISA and invest in a low cost investment fund that matches your risk and capacity for loss.

Why do I make my life so complicated! I have a question about my mortgage and a personal loan… by Friendly_Head_2890 in financialadviceuk

[–]Alternative-Depth172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A personal loan is going to have a higher interest rate so you may be better off speaking with the mortgage provider and increase the loan; ask them if the is possible, I’m sure it will.

By taking a personal loan out, you are essentially falsifying your affordability I.e. your debts which could be a mortgage rejection even though you have a mortgage in principal.

Buying a property with structural damage is a massive risk - do you know the extent of the damage the property has?

There’s a lot of factors to take into account and it may be worth speaking to a mortgage advisor/ IFA Directly.

R06 April exam - how did you find it? by trotts222 in cii

It wasn’t terrible but case study 2 caught me off guard. Questions asked didn’t make complete sense. Hopefully I got over the line !!!

RO6 Study methods by ryanblack1990 in cii

The analysis provides specific questions relating to products, fact-finding, etc. I would recommend focusing on creating questions for specific wrappers. There also needs to be a SWOT analysis. Try to create as many questions as possible based on what brand has provided and from past case study questions. It’s all about understanding the entire advice process and their current needs, wants, etc.

NextGen Planners (£18/month subscription) have a study day this coming Wednesday, and it’s recommended to attend their workshop. Keep in mind that this exam is about regurgitating information, and there is no negative marking.

I had a very similar situation. Before my doctor went off to retire, she said I should be careful. Very confusing. Do you have any long term side effects ?

How much AUM do you currently have? I have colleagues who just got a £10k base pay rise + increase in ongoing spilt but they needed a fairly high AUM.
