Your questions, answered

Scroll to discover the answers to some of our most frequently asked queries.

Question

What’s the right investment approach for someone in my situation?

This depends entirely on your circumstances. We’ll start with a conversation to understand what you already know, and walk you through how we approach investing, before going away to determine the correct approach for your needs and goals.

Question

Can you show me what different outcomes might look like over time?

Our cashflow planning software does just that. It helps you visualise different scenarios and see how changes in your decisions could shape your future. It’s a simple way to forecast your future financial position by making predictions for your income and expenditure.

Question

How does being a self-employed contractor affect my finances?

If you run your own limited company, you’ll need to take extra care to avoid paying more tax than necessary, and also take advantage of the allowances and reliefs that might be available to you. Let us work our magic, and we’ll make sure you don’t fall foul.

Question

What happens if I’m unable to work?

While we hope you never need to rely on it, we’ll put measures in place, such as income protection or critical illness insurance, to guarantee your financial stability and give you peace of mind during uncertain times.

No surprises

Our fees explained

Your next question is probably about fees, and we get that it’s important to know where you stand from the outset. We only charge for the work we do, not the amount you have to invest. You’ll find a full breakdown of our fees for all three services clearly listed on our website.

What trust looks like to our clients

Andy

It is a real weight off our minds to know that someone who knows what they are talking about is looking after the financial side of things. Tom’s encouragement that we can afford to take lots of holidays is a big win!

Jess

Working with Tom has given me confidence in investing, and I'm very happy with the performance of his recommendations. Instead of feeling lost or daunted I am supported and confident. You can't put a price on that.

Jonathan

Tom firstly helped me vocalise what my goals were and then reviewed my portfolio. He provided expert advice on where I could maximise my investments and put it in terms I could understand.

Linus

I can't recommend Tom of Arboretum enough. He has been instrumental in getting a clear view of mine and my wife's short, medium and long term plans in life and how we can achieve them.
