We all mark the passage of time in different ways, from school terms and nature’s seasons, to tax quarters and business year ends. But it all amounts to the same thing: addressing the present while planning for the future.

None of us can predict the future but we can all prepare for it, which is why we are dedicating this issue of Sentinel to estate planning.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing is significantly on the rise as more people realise they can take control of where their money is invested and that by doing this they have the power to effect positive change on the financial services sector. In this edition of Rouse: Sentinel, we want to show you that it’s easy to be green.

After a year that threw everyone the biggest curveball since the celestium launched that meteor at the dinosaurs, we thought it appropriate to create something positive from these unsettling times.

Welcome to Rouse: Sentinel.

We work hard to develop an effective, diversified investment portfolio that reflects your ethics, is in line with your attitude to risk, and keeps you on track to achieve your financial goals. Our investment process starts with you.

Time is a gift and now is always a good time to consider where you are in life and where you want to get to. Whether we like it or not money makes the world go round but however much you might have, it needs to work hard for you throughout your life.

In this edition, we discuss simple financial housekeeping issues that everyone will experience at some stage in their life and show you ways to ensure you stay on track.

We have often said that financial planning is about more than just putting your money where it will get the best return. Investments and savings are a part of the process but they are only cogs in a much bigger wheel. In this edition of our newsletter we take a look into cash flow forecasting, Equity Release, retirement planning and investment management.

For most people, the family home is their biggest asset. However, it’s not of much practical use if you find yourself needing a cash boost and your income isn’t quite measuring up.

There are a number of ways you can access money tied up in your home and Equity Release is the over-arching term for those products that could allow you to do this.

Read our quick guide to Equity Release to find out more.

Why there’s value in wealth management and financial planning. This newsletter aims not only to explain the changes since the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) and help you interpret the information we will supply to you, but also to reiterate the inherent value in taking financial advice.

In this issue we look at making sense of pensions illustrations, which might then help sharpen your focus on your pension savings (will you have enough to live on?), and shine a light on the difference between gambling and investing, as well as giving a little more insight into the flexible options available with Equity Release products.

With insights into what we do and how we do it, our brochure gives an overview of how financial planning can help you make the most of your money throughout your life.

We have always preferred to take a holistic and long-term view regarding financial planning. Whilst there will be occasions in your life when you need help with a particular issue, such as choosing a mortgage, in general, financial decisions should be made with as wide a perspective as possible. This is why we refer to lifetime financial planning. And here we hope to illustrate the thread running through all aspects of your financial life – how one decision might affect another and that what you decide today will impact on your finances decades from now.

In this issue we hope to give a clearer view of our role as guardians of your wealth management. We also focus on some of those financial issues that affect all of us at some point in our lives: how to move forward on the road to homeownership, what to think about when planning your retirement. We also look at the difference between tax avoidance and evasion.

No two families are the same, each have their own unique financial needs. In this issue we take a look at these modern families and identify what the impact of such arrangements might be in terms of financial and tax planning. We are also privileged to be able to include input on this from legacy and tax expert, Claudia Roberts of Glanvilles, solicitors.

Aimed at sixth formers, Launchpad is our financial literacy presentation targeted specifically at the age group preparing for their giant leap into adulthood. It aims to show how to identify where your money is coming from, where it’s going, and importantly, how to make any changes needed to stay in control and avoid spiralling into debt.
