Are you really protecting your clients?
22 May 2019
The latest Heath report surveyed 249 adviser firms representing 865 advisers on the current availability and future of professional advice in the UK. The report found 5 per cent of advisers, a total of 1,650, have immediate plans to retire and another 16 per cent, a total of 5,280 advisers, hope to retire in the next five years. FT Adviser
The survey recorded the average age of an adviser was in their mid-50s. However, ‘just retiring’ is not as easy for financial advisers who own their business. If there is no clear succession plan, no family member ready to take on the business, simply retiring is not an option.
Protecting clients, their families and assets is at the heart of what financial advisers will always do. Throughout the years, advisers have had successful careers building up a loyal client base and serving their clients to the best of their ability.
The Right Mortgage and Protection Network have recently launched a retirement package aimed at all financial advisers, whether they are members of the network or not. With their retirement package, you can pass on your client book to the network and on retirement, 75% of commission will be paid to you for existing business and 50% for new business. This provides peace of mind that your clients will continue to be looked after, as well as creating a great income stream for you. In total the network have looked after over 54,000 satisfied clients since its inception so advisers can be rest assured their client’s best interests will be in mind.
“Should the worst happen to you and you’re no longer around, we will continue to service your client book with 50% passed to your beneficiaries.”
How does The Right Mortgage and Protection Network’s retirement package work?
- Sign and return their short contract and let them know when you plan to retire
- Prior to the your retirement date, they provide you with simple letter templates to contact your client bank/lenders/providers
- Upon retirement, they will contact your client bank and ensure they continue to be looked after
- 75% of commission will be paid to you for existing business and 50% for new business
- Should the worst happen to you and you’re no longer around, they will continue to service your client book with 50% passed to your beneficiaries

The network also provides the option of 'phasing' into retirement by product.
