Foundation
This is Indigo’s core service proposition best suited to those clients who have growing investments and pensions and are looking to build and protect their financial position. It is more suited to those with investment portfolios and/or pension funds of between £85,000 and £250,000.
Also suited to clients in Retirement Drawdown, Foundation clients will want to meet with their adviser at least once a year to review their accumulating portfolio, but have access to their financial valuations and other data online at any time. They may also want to more effectively manage mortgages / debts and protect their financial circumstances appropriately against suffering serious illness or premature death. Estate planning and trust work could also form an overall strategy.
Most clients will have a clear idea of what they are aiming for in the future, and by having a closer ongoing relationship with a financial adviser, plans can be monitored to ensure that objectives are met. As circumstances change, the aim is to ensure that the portfolio continues to match the client’s requirements for future financial security.
The fees for this service are based upon a percentage of funds under management.
The Client Agreement, Ongoing Service Agreement and Charge Card can provide more information.
