Many people make their first foray into investment on a DIY basis, perhaps based on advice from a friend, or after reading a report in the media. Over the years they may save in ISAs, or take out a personal pension plan, or dabble with investments without really having an overall investment strategy in mind.
However, when it comes to planning and investing for the future, perhaps for retirement, or to fulfil a life’s ambition, getting financial advice can make a significant difference.
