- Wealth Management
  Wealth, just like your health, must be carefully preserved. Your assets need to be protected against the potential threats of erosion by taxation, the effects of inflation and investment risks. Whatever your level of wealth, there is nothing wrong in making the decision to prepare a risk aversion strategy. Risk aversion is a reasonable and prudent strategy for anyone who is sure that they already have ample to provide for themselves and their family into the future.

- Mortgages
  Mortgages are loans which are intended to help buyers purchase residential and commercial property. When an individual takes out a loan, the lender charges interest: the same is true of a mortgage. A mortgage is a ‘secured’ loan, which means that the loan is secured against the value of the property being purchased until the mortgage is paid off.

- Pensions
  When you retire you still need food and shelter as an absolute minimum, but of course you will want to maintain the lifestyle to which you have become accustomed, so unless you can guarantee a large inheritance or windfall, then you need to provide yourself with a secure income for the rest of your life.

- Savings & Investments
  It’s less risky than investing, but it offers limited growth. The most you'll earn on the money you save is the interest added. Saving is perfect for people who don’t want to take any risks with their money, and most savings accounts have easy access or are for a fixed term.

Unit Trusts

Investing in Unit Trusts

Unit Trusts are a common type of collective investment.

A unit trust is a large fund of monies and/or investments pooled together and controlled by trustees to gain capital appreciation, income, or both.

Unit Trusts are made up of 'units'. Each unit will have both a buying price and a selling price. The difference in these prices includes the fund management charges. The number of units held, multiplied by the current price, gives the current value of an investor’s holding.

These investments are open-ended, which means that units are created every time an investor puts money into the fund, and liquidated when they withdraw money so that the fund can react to demand and continually grow through prosperous periods.

Investors can then enjoy the benefits of larger investments. However, during periods of poorer performance, the fund may need to sell assets to enable investors to withdraw their monies, so the fund size is reduced.

THE VALUE OF INVESTMENTS AND THE INCOME THEY PRODUCE CAN FALL AS WELL AS RISE. YOU MAY GET BACK LESS THAN YOU INVESTED.

TAX TREATMENT VARIES ACCORDING TO INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
