New Year offer – no minimum advice fee

Book your call back to secure your free first meeting with an adviser and qualify for our New Year offer.

Important notes

This article isn’t personal advice. If you’re not sure whether an investment is right for you please seek advice. If you choose to invest the value of your investment will rise and fall, so you could get back less than you put in.

It was correct at the time of publishing. Our views and any references to tax, investment and pension rules may have changed since then.

Most of us will need financial advice at some point in our lives. From pensions, savings and investments, to redundancy, death and inheritance tax planning – they can affect us all.

And thanks to our New Year offer, now could be a good time to talk to us.

Advice has clear benefits - book a call back today

3 ways financial advice can help you:

Financial advice is more than just picking the right investments and products.

You’ll benefit from:

  • Peace of mind - be confident any investment decisions and financial plans are bespoke to your needs and goals.
  • Saving money - advice at HL won't cost more than 1% (+VAT) typically. That’s a lot less than the UK average of 2.7%.
  • Saving time – your adviser will do all the hard work for you, so you don’t have to. You’ll get a comprehensive financial plan that you can follow for years to come.

We won’t sell you advice if it’s not right for you. In fact, we tell 65% of people we talk to that they can save money by making their own decisions. And we show them the free tools and guides we make available, without taking advice.
