The Value Of Advice
More wealth
Research from the International Longevity Centre – UK found that those who received financial advice in the 2001-2007 period had accumulated significantly more financial assets and pension wealth by 2012-2014 than people who did not get advice.
In fact, the group classed as ‘affluent’ in the survey and who had taken advice had 16% more in pension wealth at the end of this period.
Higher retirement income
According to a survey by YouGov for Old Mutual Wealth People in retirement who take advice tend to have an annual income of £9,598 more than those who don’t.
Adviser Alpha
Major investment firm Vanguard have produced a white paper called ‘Adviser’s Alpha’ which outlines the difference between the return that investors might achieve with an adviser and the return they might have achieved on their own.
There are 7 key areas where advisers add value and Vanguard’s research shows that over time this all adds up to around an extra 3% per year net returns for clients on top of what they might have achieved on their own.
In reality, this does not mean a straightforward 3% every year as some years the value added through advice will be larger and some years the value added will be less depending on what stage of life you are at.
