About Mark Kiddell

Everyone has different priorities and financial aspirations in life, which is why I believe getting to know you and your unique situation is the most important part of my role as your financial adviser. Understanding what matters most to you and your loved ones is the key to successful financial advice and the route to long-term financial security. 

Everyone’s goals are unique. What you hope to accomplish is likely to be different from the next person – there’s no one-size-fits all. That’s why I’ll spend time getting to know you; your hopes, needs, wants, concerns, and anything else that’s on your mind. The value of your investment can go down as well as up so you might not get back the amount you put in.

My approach to creating your financial plan

Once we’ve painted a picture of your circumstances, I can look at possible solutions. In my experience, most people seek advice for a particular scenario. Maybe you’re approaching retirement and unsure of how to access your pension, or maybe you’re uncertain of how best to use an inheritance. You may not even know exactly what you need help with just yet – but have a nagging feeling your money could be doing more. Whatever your situation, I can help.

I believe in making advice simple

A big part of my job is illustrating how actions you take now could impact your life many years from now. Through modelling tools I can help you visualise best and worst case scenarios. That way, we can work together to plan for different outcomes – enabling you take the most appropriate steps, at the right time. This can be difficult to do yourself, so having expert by your side can pay off.

Let’s chat

When it comes to your future, you don’t have to go it alone. Get in touch to find out more about how I could help you – I’d love to hear about your aspirations. Having a chat is a great way of sussing out whether or not advice is right for you.

Areas of expertise

Savings & investments

Whether you’re just getting started or a seasoned investor – financial advice could help you get more from your money. I start by understanding your needs and financial ambitions – this might be working towards a particular goal, or helping loved ones down the line.

It’s important we consider things like your ability to make regular payments, any one-off investments you could make, your level of comfort regarding market volatility and risk and how long you’re looking to invest for. I can then recommend the investment products that I believe best match your aims and expectations.

Pensions & retirement planning

Have you considered what you want your retirement to look like? Most people accept that it’s generally a good idea to save into a pension. But will it give you enough to live the life you want in retirement? The earlier you lay the groundwork, the better. Effective retirement planning could mean you’re financially better off and have more time to spend on the things you love.

It’s never too late to put plans in place or discuss your options. I can look at your situation and recommend which steps to take, based on where you are in life, to help make your income last in retirement.

Protection

We can’t predict what life has in store for us, for better or worse. But we can prepare ourselves. If you become unwell and can’t work, you may not be able to pay your bills and your family could be left in financial difficulty. I can help you create a protection plan that might include income protection, life cover and critical illness cover. Knowing you’ve taken out financial protection to take care of things could mean one less worry for you and your loved ones.

Mortgages

Buying a home is likely to be the biggest purchase you’ll ever make. It’s a big step and could be much easier to take if you’re well-informed and get some good advice. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, moving on, downsizing, or even buying a second home, I can help you find the mortgage that suits you best. And working with a range of carefully selected lenders, I could help to improve your chances of being accepted knowing which lenders are most appropriate for your circumstances.
