Our Typical Engagement Process
Our initial discussion is at Henson Crisp’s expense and with no charge to you. This is your opportunity to explain your needs and discover what we do. It will also give us the opportunity to see whether we can help you achieve your financial objectives. We will also explain our data privacy policy and charging structure.
We will gather information about your existing financial arrangements and personal circumstances. This will include your investment knowledge and your ability to accept risk.
We issue a letter detailing our understanding of your objectives. The letter will also specify the service we propose to provide and how much it will cost you.
We will analyse your existing arrangements to assess their suitability for you. This will be the basis for our recommendations.
We will provide you with a recommendation report. This will outline our recommendations moving forward.
We will also offer a second meeting to explain and discuss our recommendations in detail.
This is the point at which the initial fee would typically become due.
Once agreed, we will action the recommendations set out in the report.
We will handle all fund and policy administration on your behalf. This includes liaising with the relevant bodies and ensuring that the requested action takes place in a timely manner.
