Our Approach
to Financial Planning

At Melville Independent we know that wealth management means different things to different people. By gaining a deeper understanding of your individual needs we are able to offer a comprehensive and personal approach to managing your wealth.

The first stage of Melville Investment Solutions is to establish your individual attitude to risk (ATR). We utilise a bespoke solution created by a market leading assessment firm using their online system that helps to uncover your ATR using an easy-to-use question-and-answer based assessment.

The results of the risk analysis will highlight the types of investments that match your profile. At this stage you can select from our range of Portfolio Manager Funds:

  • Cautious 

  • Moderately Cautious 

  • Moderate

  • Moderately Adventurous 

  • Adventurous

Each of these is managed by Multi-Manager Investment Teams, who have a wealth of experience running multi-manager funds. As you would expect from a leading Independent Financial Adviser, these managers have been sourced from the very best available in the marketplace.

If required, the agreed investment can then be placed into a range of different tax wrappers including an Individual Saving Account (ISA) or Self Invested Personal Pension (SIPP). You can also opt to invest directly or via a life investment bond.

It doesn’t stop there. Melville Investment Solutions also provides you with a range of useful tools to monitor and track your investment. We’ll also make available regular reports to ensure you are kept up-to-date on your investment’s progress.

Workplace Testimonials

Nice & simple to understand
Alex always gives me good advice and doesn’t push me to follow what he says! Friendly & approachable.
Prompt feedback
My review was detailed and discussed with any questions I had explained to my satisfaction. I’m confident with your service and the meetings are never rushed through so feel at ease. It is convenient having them in my home without the stress of travelling to Edinburgh. Presently I can’t think of anything I would change. My advisor addresses my concerns and follows up reporting back the following day anything there is to confirm.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent service done by one of your staff members, namely Mrs Beata Figueira. From start to finish, Beata assisted in a clear, friendly and professional manner, by helping us and being available through the whole process. Her knowledge and professionalism can only be delineated in superlatives. Indubitably, I would recommend her to anybody.

Great to have Jack Ferguson – Financial Planner for Business Owners – in the office for lunch this week to share our new employee benefits and some essential knowledge so our team can financially set themselves up for success.

He ran through an informative but easy to understand presentation, and then gave each team member a 1-to-1 session where they could discuss their personal situation without judgement.

We know how complex and overwhelming financial planning can be, and its important that our employees have the tools to understand the best ways to create and meet their financial goals. Thanks again Jack!
