Our BRS is an evolution of our established investment approach, drawing on decades of expertise and experience in financial markets.
Bespoke Retirement Solution (BRS) is a tailored, structured retirement income planning approach designed to help advisers protect client wealth. It mitigates sequencing risk, longevity risk, and inflation risk, which are the three forces most likely to deplete portfolios. BRS aligns client portfolios with their actual goals, ensures Consumer Duty compliance, and reduces the chance clients run out of money. Backed by decades of expertise, it empowers advisers to deliver greater confidence and measurable outcomes in every retirement strategy.
Retirement income planning is more complex than ever. With people living longer – many needing income for 30 years or more – advisers face growing challenges in helping to ensure their clients’ wealth lasts. Risks such as sequencing risk, longevity risk, and inflation risk can significantly impact retirement outcomes.
Our BRS helps mitigate these challenges. With a tailored, structured, and holistic approach, BRS aims to reduce the risk of clients running out of money while aligning portfolios with their goals. Backed by decades of expertise, it empowers you to deliver greater confidence, and compliance in your retirement planning strategies.
Advisers are also under increasing pressure to meet Consumer Duty obligations, ensuring solutions avoid foreseeable harm and are suitable for clients’ needs. Sequencing risk, for example, can deplete portfolios if income is withdrawn during market downturns. Longevity risk mitigation means funds need to last decades, while inflation risk erodes purchasing power over time.
We rely on you for information about your clients’ investment requirements, goals, ambitions, attitude to risk and capacity for loss, which helps inform us about the type of portfolio they require. We only supply investment management services in accordance with your instructions.
