Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What makes Chambers’ advisers different?
A: Chambers’ advisers are different because they concentrate on their relationship with you and how to build that over time in order to more deeply understand your specific situation. In order to allow this, Chambers’ advisers are limited to 120 clients each. This is well below the industry average.
Q: What makes the Chambers Method different?
A: Since 1996, Chambers has concentrated on protecting it’s clients by combining the use of wealth creation strategies such as Protected Investments, Cash flow & Debt Management and Tax Planning. This combination, managed by Chambers, protects you in the bad times and continues to deliver value in the good times.
Q: What can I expect from my initial consultation?
A: During your initial consultation, your adviser will discuss with you your specific situation, the Chambers Method and how it can be applied to your specific requirements. In general, Chambers does not charge for consultations as it believes that a problem is only something that started as an issue, but was left too late. You would be encouraged to stay in constant contact with your adviser. You are not bound to Chambers in any way by attending this consultation.
Q: Data Collection Forms; why are they so important?
A: Although they can be daunting at times, it is important to fill in your Data Collection Form completely and accurately. This is because the quality of the advice that your Financial Adviser can provide is limited by the quality of information that he/she is provided by you. Although preferable that you attempt the Data Collection Form for your initial consultation, as it will make your meeting smoother, it is not entirely necessary at this stage.
Q: Am I committing to anything when I come in?
A: No. The role of Chambers Advisers is to advise you on the path they see fit. Your role is to decide on whether you want to proceed.
Q: Are there any hidden costs?
A: No. All our charges are fully disclosed. During your initial consultation, your adviser will give you his Financial Services Guide (FSG) fully outlining how you will be charged. A generic version of this FSG can be found on this site. Additionally, all remuneration is disclosed in your Statement of Advice (SOA).
