UNCERTAIN economic times have underlined the importance of regularly reviewing pension and investments — and have prompted a leading South West based firm of financial planners to stage a series of free seminars to provide advice on options available.

Paul Larcombe of Shipman Financial Planning said including a safety net in financial plans was now more important than ever.

'It's never too early or too late to improve your retirement and there are some innovative solutions provided by leading insurance and investment companies to help people protect their wealth,' he said.

Leading financial company representatives, along with a qualified independent financial adviser will speak about protection against market falls, the potential to lock-in gains when markets rise, an income for life irrespective of investment performance and valuable death benefits.

The free 'Insure Your Wealth' presentation will be held on September 29 at 2.30pm, at the Bedford Hotel in Tavistock.
