The Experts’ Views

Not sure about the issues you need to consider. The Masterclass team explains what they’ll be talking about and why it’s relevant to you:

Andrew Cockerill, Chief Executive of Cave & Sons
‘This year has already seen social uprisings in Africa and the Middle East, riots in Greece, playground squabbling in Washington and a devastating Tsunami in Japan. The world’s capital markets have perhaps never been more volatile. At the same time, the range of investment products available to the private client has never been greater. Informed, impartial and appropriate investment management services are, therefore, more important than ever.

My presentation will provide some insight into the disciplined, structured investment approach favoured by Cave & Sons. I will highlight the range of different investment vehicles and asset classes generally utilised when constructing portfolios for our clients and provide an insight into our current view of the economic backdrop and the prospects for the markets going forward.’

Gregg Taffs, Chartered Financial Planner, Cave & Sons
‘The need for professional financial guidance has never been more important than now. For those who have skilfully managed to navigate the tricky path into a financially secure retirement there is often a desire to pass on wp-content to help the next generation. Understandably with increased longevity and the possible requirement to fund long term care costs, assessing what constitutes excess capital can be difficult to ascertain. This often results in little or no action being taken and the taxman receiving a considerable proportion of the remaining estate.

I will therefore be focusing my presentation on inheritance tax efficient structures which enable the individual to reduce their estate for inheritance tax purposes whilst retaining access to some or all of the original capital/income or both.’

Stephen Patch, Senior Solicitor at Greenwoods Solicitors LLP
‘The need for professional advice in relation to Wills and estate planning should never be underestimated. A Will is not only a useful tax-planning tool but can also be used to help safeguard part of the estate from future care fees. For an increasingly ageing population this is an issue that is affecting more and more families and for those who either refuse to take advice or bury their heads in the sand can be in for an unpleasant shock when either a significant part or the whole of their estate is swallowed up in care fees!

I will talk about making a Will which combines both tax efficiency and protection from future care fees.’
