The Process

Throughout the process, our team consistently monitors each portfolio, recommends adjustments as necessary, and maintains clear, consistent client communication.

A strong planning process is the best way to create a strong, flexible financial plan.

A transparent, effective planning process is based on two key aspects of financial planning: protection and access to funds when needed. A plan must ensure liquidity, to allow its owner to access funds when needed. It must also take into account key stages of life. This can include preparing for events such as retirement, death, and in the event of disability and/or critical illness.

With these goals in mind, the first step in building a comprehensive plan is to assess total financial planning needs. This involves a consideration of important milestones such as retirement, insurance, major purchases and educational costs, as well as ongoing financial management strategies. Once these factors are identified, the client is prepared to choose the products and services that best address his or her needs.

Financial Planning

We provide advice and direction that comes not just from market expertise and experience, but from listening to you, our client. We place you at the center of your financial plan.

What is Financial Security Planning?

Financial planning is about more than preparing for retirement. It is about working to achieve short- and long-term goals, and helping protect the most important things in life.

A strong plan is developed in collaboration with a financial planner, and includes a balance of products that is flexible enough to meet changing needs across a client’s personal and professional life.

The first step to achieving a strong financial plan is creating an effective strategy that:

  • Prepare for a Secure, comfortable Retirement
  • Minimise Current Taxes
  • Pro-actively Manage and Control Debt
  • Help prepare for a Child’s College Education
  • Provide Loved Ones or Heirs in the event of death, disability or critical illness
  • Protect Businesses and their Employees

Financial Planning and Wealth Management

Wealth Management is what we, here at Alliance Growth Capital, are best at. The term ‘Wealth Management’ describes the financial services and estate planning services that are delivered to our high net worth investors which are customised to fit their bespoke, particular needs.

When assessing which style of wealth management will work best for you, we will work hard to consider various factors including your current wealth, your attitude to risk and your specific financial goals. Where some clients may be interested in multi-generational wealth management, others may have more immediate or short term needs. Within Alliance Growth Capital, our Private Client Advisors are financial experts in wealth management with the very latest and advanced industry qualifications.

As certified financial planners, be rest assured that we have the experience and credentials to best manage you and your family’s wealth. Alongside with the financial planning needs, which our wealth management clients will have, we will facilitate and orchestrate access to other professional advisors in order to enhance and complement our globally recognised wealth management service.

To take advantage of Alliance Growth Capital wealth management, you do not have to be a multi-millionaire or celebrity. Our wealth management service is personalised to each and every customer, we are not a ‘one size fits all’ wealth manager.

When you choose to entrust Alliance Growth Capital with your wealth management needs, be rest assured knowing that all of your financial needs are covered from A to Z. At any time, you can pick up the phone and call the Private Client Advisor assigned to your account to discuss your portfolio and any changes you would like to make.

Most of us have goals in life that call for an investment of a significant amount of time and financial resources. We may have done some planning. However, our natural tendency is to focus on only one or two goals that are most important to us right now. For most people, developing and maintaining a plan to achieve all of their financial goals is a daunting challenge—one we delay taking on.

Complete Comprehensive Plans

If you elect to have us establish a comprehensive plan for you, we will discuss with you to gather complete financial information from you including your short and long term goals. With this information, we will then look for planning strategies that you can use to improve your financial situation.

During a second discussion we will deliver these strategies to you and recommend methods of implementation. Alliance Growth Capital, of course, recommends annual reviews and updates of your plan to keep it on track. We also find that these updates increase the knowledge level of our clients, which in turn increases their odds of success. A comprehensive plan is an ongoing process.

Three Primary Factors

Step 1: Asset allocation

We build individual solutions for each client, applying our investment philosophy to his or her unique situation. Allocations may include 10-15 distinct asset classes across global debt and equity markets.

Step 2: Implementation

After determining an allocation strategy for the client, we implement the portfolio with a combination of mutual funds and/or ETFs. Our Fund Updates page includes links to some of those funds. We do not hold customer assets directly, and all account transfers are handled custodian to custodian.

Step 3: Monitor

Over time, we expect every client’s financial situation will change. Additionally, our investment approach may change to reflect new research or products. To incorporate these changes effectively, we expect to maintain an ongoing dialogue with our clients regarding their own portfolio performances and financial situations, as well as our firm’s investment process. This dialogue typically includes meetings, phone calls, quarterly performance statements, and monthly custodial statements.
