Green Gate Financial Planning

Martin Binyon

DipPFS

For the last 10 years as a financial adviser, I have taken immense pride in helping guide people to take control of their finances.  

Before I became an adviser I worked outside finance, which means I remember what it's like when someone throws terms like ‘drawdown’, ‘asset class diversification’ and ‘fund allocation’ at you and expects you to just know what they mean. 

My job is to translate that stuff into plain English, show you what your options are, and help you make decisions you feel confident about - not pressured into. 

About

Many of my clients come to me with multiple pension pots scattered across old jobs, no clear picture of what retirement might look like, and a nagging feeling they should be doing something smarter with their money. I help them: 

  • Review old workplace pension pots into something trackable (and show you real numbers for what your retirement income could be) 
  • Cut through the jargon so you actually understand what you're investing in and why 
  • Sort out protection so that you, your family and/or your business are covered should anything happen 
  • Plan for school fees or other big financial goals while still living a life you can enjoy 

I enjoy helping people understand this and get excited and energised about their future. 

Who I work with: 

Successful professionals who are time-poor - company directors, self-employed people, freelancers in media and TV (an area I particularly focus on), and people who've tried other Advisers but they weren’t the right fit.

First meeting? No pressure, no obligation, completely confidential. 

Let's talk about where you are, where you want to be, and whether I'm the right person to help you get there. 

The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds you select and the value can therefore go down as well as up. You may get back less than you invested.
