Information about the financial services
We are an Insurance and Investment Intermediary. Our principal business is to provide financial advice and arrange products and services on behalf of our clients in relation to Life, Income Protection, Pensions, and Investments needs. We hold letters of appointments and agency agreements with several product providers and their information is listed within our Terms of Business.
We will provide our clients with financial planning consultations or specific financial advice in relation to their individual financial needs and personal circumstances and where appropriate they will have the option to take up products that are deemed suitable to them. InvestLink and these product providers will provide the customer with specific pre-contractual documentation depending on the type of product that you decide to take out following your financial consultation.
If you proceed to take out a contract, all terms & conditions including premiums due, and the term of the contract will be confirmed by the provider in a Policy Schedule.
Information about the financial products that we provide advice on
Investment and Pension products are designed for medium to long term commitments and as such there is a risk that you may lose some or all of your money invested. In addition, relying on past performance is in no way a reliable indicator to the future performance of funds.
Life and income protection policy products are designed to replace money or income if a customer is unable to work or unfortunately dies. However, there is a risk that the Life Company will not pay out, where a customer has not disclosed any material, medical or other facts.
