This World Financial Planning Day, we’re highlighting how financial planning can support people at every stage of life, from building good financial habits and saving for a first home, to managing tax, investing and planning for the future. 💰📝

And the benefits can extend beyond your finances. Research from the Financial Planning Standards Board found that clients associate financial planning with everything from achieving life goals and coping with health challenges, to family life and mental wellbeing.

Whatever stage of life you’re in, having a plan could help bring greater clarity and confidence to the financial decisions ahead.

Whether it’s buying a house, buying a car, planning for retirement or simply feeling more in control of your finances, we all have goals we’d like to work towards. 🏠🛻

But having a goal is only the beginning. The bigger question is: do you have a plan to get there?

💭How much will it cost?
💭How long might it take?
💭Is it affordable alongside your other commitments?
💭And are you still allowing for the things that can easily be overlooked, such as unexpected costs, changing circumstances and your longer term financial future?

At Continuum, our advisers take the time to understand your individual circumstances and what matters to you, helping you build a financial plan around your goals while keeping the bigger picture in mind.

Because your financial goals shouldn’t exist in isolation. They should form part of a plan that works for your life now and in the future.

The Bank of England has held the Base Rate at 3.75%, but what does that mean for mortgage rates?

While a Base Rate hold may provide some stability for borrowers, mortgage rates are influenced by much more than the Bank Rate alone. Fixed rate deals, in particular, reflect expectations for what could happen in the months and years ahead.

Our latest article looks at what the decision could mean for:

• Tracker mortgage holders
• Those coming to the end of a fixed rate
• Anyone planning to move
• Borrowers wondering whether it’s time to review their current deal

We’re delighted to welcome Luca Loader back to Continuum as an Independent Financial Adviser, based in Basingstoke.

Luca began his career with us at Continuum, progressing from an Administrator to a Paraplanner before moving on to develop his experience elsewhere. Now, he has returned to build his own advice business within the partnership.

Speaking to The Intermediary, Luca highlighted the important role paraplanning played in his journey into financial advice:

“Paraplanning not only gave me a solid technical background, but it also helped me understand how the whole process works and what all roles bring to the table.”

For Luca, it was this experience that provided a natural progression into financial advice, giving him an understanding that technical qualifications alone cannot bring.

And having experienced life outside of Continuum, he knew where he wanted to return, describing Continuum as a “safe and natural home” to build his business.

We’re excited to see Luca continue his journey with Continuum. His client-first approach, commitment to high-quality advice and focus on building long-term relationships make him a great fit for our partnership.

An inheritance isn't always as straightforward as receiving cash. You could inherit a property you don't want to live in, investments that don't fit your plans, or valuable possessions such as jewellery, artwork or a classic car.

Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to sell, transfer, refuse or redirect an inheritance. But there can be tax and practical considerations to think about before making a decision.

💷 More than £1 trillion is now held in ISAs, according to HMRC

The number of ISA millionaires reached over 5,000 by 2023, and there are probably many more by now.

So, could your ISA become a bigger part of your long term wealth building strategy? And could you join the ISA millionaires of the future? 👀

With tax free growth and no Capital Gains Tax or Income Tax on investments held within an ISA, making use of your annual allowance could be a valuable part of your financial plan.

And you don’t necessarily need a huge lump sum to get started. Regular contributions, time and the potential power of compounding can all play a part.

🗞️ Read the full article to explore the numbers and how ISAs could fit into your investment strategy: https://mycontinuum.co.uk/isa-investments-join-the-1-trillion-isa-club/

Great financial advice starts with listening. 👂

Everyone’s circumstances, priorities and goals are different. That’s why we believe good financial advice starts with taking the time to understand the person behind the finances.

Our advisers focus on building lasting relationships with their clients, listening to what matters to them and understanding their individual circumstances. This helps shape advice around what’s important to each person, rather than taking a one size fits all approach.

And if you’re not quite sure what you need help with, that’s okay too. You don’t need to have all the answers before getting started. Our advisers can help you understand your options and guide you in the right direction.

This Pension Awareness Week, we’ve been thinking about pension savings people may have lost track of over the years. 💰

Craig Parkinson, Independent Financial Adviser at Continuum, highlights the importance of reviewing old employment and pension records:

“There are many steps people can take to track down lost pensions, including making a list of previous employers, checking old paperwork or payslips, contacting former employers and using the Government’s Pension Tracing Service.”

“A little time reviewing old employment and pension records could give someone a much clearer picture of their retirement position and potentially reunite them with money they had forgotten about.”

Finding an old pension is only the first step. Understanding its value, charges and benefits can help you build a clearer picture of your retirement plans.

London Fashion Week is a good reminder to think about what’s already in our wardrobes and homes, and whether the things that matter to us are adequately protected. 👜

From designer handbags and jewellery to watches, wedding rings and other valuable possessions, some items are worth more than their price tag. And if something important to you is lost, stolen or damaged, having suitable protection in place could help reduce the financial and practical hassle.

As your possessions and circumstances change, it’s worth checking whether your existing cover still reflects what you own.

At Continuum, our advisers can help you review the protection you have in place and understand whether anything needs attention for your personal circumstances.

Get in touch for a free consultation.

Protect what matters to you, because some things are worth more than their price tag. ✨
