Frequently asked questions
What does a financial planner do?
A financial planner builds your complete financial picture: what you have, what you need, and the route between the two. That means cash flow modelling, retirement projections, and a written plan. It's broader than product advice; the plan comes first, and any products are just tools to execute it.
What is the difference between a financial planner and a financial adviser?
In the UK the titles overlap and neither is protected, but the emphasis differs: planners focus on the overall plan and cash flow modelling; advisers focus on regulated recommendations for specific products and decisions. Many professionals do both. What matters more is whether they're FCA-authorised and how they charge.
How much does a financial plan cost in the UK?
A full financial plan from a regulated firm typically costs £1,000-3,000 as a fixed fee, or is bundled into ongoing percentage-of-assets charges. The alternative: build the picture yourself with planning tools, or work with a financial coach for a fraction of the cost, and pay for regulated advice only when a specific decision needs it.
Can I do my own financial planning?
For most situations, yes. Working out your retirement number, mapping your pensions, and modelling scenarios are all things good tools now do well; that's exactly what Delphina provides for Walsall residents. Where DIY stops making sense is regulated territory: transferring final salary pensions or complex tax structuring.
