Rafter Associates Financial Management Ltd

About Us

We are Independent Financial Planners and Investment Advisers offering a wide range of Financial planning services to both individuals and businesses

What we do

Put simply, what we do is support you with all of your financial decision making throughout your life and the following 3-step process is used to help achieve this:

1. Plan

This involves working closely with you to gather information to enable us to see clearly:
  • where you are now
  • where you want to be and by when
  • what you need to do to get there
The plan is in effect, a financial road map, showing how all of the proposed actions will help you to achieve your desired lifestyle, which for most is a case of living your own version of the good life.

2. Implement

At the core of the “Implement” stage are the range of specially negotiated specialist services, which we have developed over the years. Investment Management service, Retirement Planning service and our Wills and Estate Planning service.

We will guide you through the full implementation process and explain everything in detail.

3. Review

it is vital that the plan is regularly reviewed, monitored and tweaked to take account of the inevitable changes that will surely come to pass.  

Changes in taxation, inflation changes, investment conditions are sure to change.  As well as the inevitable changes in your personal circumstances.  The ageing process alone gives rise to changes, which will need to be addressed in time.

Our comprehensive service ensures that we work with you and your family to ensure that your planning remains current and appropriate in the light of all of the above changes.  We also want to help ensure a smooth low cost, tax efficient transfer of your unused asset to your loved ones when the time comes.

4. Administration

We have invested heavily in our administration and support services and our client care service is delivered using a bespoke set of system tools.
