Full Financial Planning
Kymin Financial Services Limited offers a Full Financial Planning Service for those clients based in South Wales, Cardiff and Newport and who wish to have the very best service, technical and professional advice. By having an extensive financial plan in place, this will enable a client to plan for the future and achieve their personal objectives and goals.
The Full Financial Planning is completely Fee-based. We start with a thorough analysis of all aspects of a client's financial life, as well as looking at where they want to be in the future.
At the initial meeting, we get to know you and explain our service and agree the fee. We will ask you to provide us with your personal and financial information including details of any existing arrangements you may have.
Once we have obtained up to date details of your plans, from our research we will prepare our recommendations and will present our financial plan to you.
So if you want to meet with your adviser on an annual basis for an ongoing review, value regular contact and are happy to pay a fee for this increased level of service, contact us today.
Pensions and Retirement Planning
At Kymin, we offer a full service for pensions and retirement planning to all of our clients. Our team of professional financial advisers will offer their advice on what pension would work best for a client so that they get the very best return from it. We will take care of your retirement pensions so you don't have to.
Inheritance Tax Planning
Inheritance Tax (I.H.T) is avoidable and has often been called the voluntary tax because you can easily mitigate against it. It is a tax on death; indeed it used to be called Death Duty until we all became so squeamish when discussing death. According to the dictionary it is "a tax paid on money or property you have received from someone who has died".
There are many exemptions but before considering any of them, you should make a will and keep it up to date with changing circumstances. An extraordinary number of people in the U.K have no will. This may result in unnecessary payment of inheritance tax.
For people with more income than they need, regular gifts out of income will be I.H.T free. However, they must be out of income, they must be regular and they must reduce the donor's standard of living.
Talk to us about the other available exemptions. We can also recommend you to a member of our panel of solicitors for advice on Wills and Powers of Attorney.
I've yet to meet a widow who thought her late husband was over insured. Incidentally, it's called assurance not insurance because you will die, whereas your house may be burgled.
More competitive than ever before, for the relatively young and healthy, life assurance has never offered such good value as today. Even for older lives, improved outcomes for previously untreatable conditions, have made this wealth preservation tool more affordable.
Life assurance has so many uses. Family protection and mortgage cover are the most obvious, whereas the right policy will help to pan your wealth to your children and grandchildren, essential to inheritance planning.
The object is to ensure that the right amount of money is in the right hands at the right time.
Kymin will help you to review your policies to ensure you have the right level of protection, arranged as economically as possible.

Savings & Investments
Investment is such a wide field that it begs the question, what is and is not an investment? Is a Pension an investment? Yes, hedged around with many rules it is nonetheless a very tax-effective investment. (See pensions) I.S.A's are obviously investments. (see ISAs below) There is a whole world of investment opportunities all of which carry a greater or lesser risk.
Kymin deals in Asset-Backed investments, funds which are invested in shares, Corporate Bonds, Government Stock and Property. It has been said that "In the medium to long term (10-15 years) Asset-Backed investments are the best hedge against inflation, protecting your savings from the erosion of its value.
Our sister company Redmayne-Bentley, are stockbrokers dealing directly in individual stocks and shares. (see Redmayne-Bentley link)
I.S.A's or 'Individual Savings Accounts' replaced P.E.P's (Personal Equity Plans) in 1999. In fact all P.E.P's should now be calls I.S.A's.
Kymin has been helping clients with their savings for many years and there is no doubt in the popularity of I.S.A's, mainly because they are relatively tax-efficient.
The I.S.A allowance is currently £10,200 per annum but will rise to £10,680 from April 6th 2011. From this date you can either invest a lump sum or a monthly amount of up to £890. Half of these amounts may be invested in a CASH I.S.A or all in a Stocks & Shares I.S.A.
It is now possible to transfer CASH I.S.A's into Stocks & Shares but not the other way around.
Taxation of I.S.A's: You may withdraw amounts from your I.S.A's without incurring Capital Gains Tax. I.S.A's invested in interest bearing securities such as Corporate Bonds or Government Stocks can pay the income free of tax. However, I.S.A's from part of your estate, have to be sold on death and are not free of Inheritance Tax.
