Hi, we've let Utmost know and they'll fix it. You'll have to watch it on their site to get the CPD but if you can't wait, it's on our site too here (although no CPD).

in How would you feel about 5 hours of CPD? Comment by richallum September 2018
If you're on a Mac, Moom and Magnet take this to a whole new level.

in Transfer at NRD but not crystallising immediately - TVAS? Comment by richallum August 2018
We'd do a TVA in this case. Not sure about the exact COBS position on this but @benjaminfabi will know.

The National Powwow is collaborating on this very question next month with Quiet Room. We'll publish what comes from it.

This has been a really good thread. Thanks to everyone who contributed.

in RIY Comment by richallum July 2018
I don't know if they're allowing for compounding in the charges. If a charge is 1% pa and they're applying 1/365% each day then it's being overstated as @arongunningham points out. If they're allowing for compounding for returns and charges on t…

That's great @DanAtkinsonUK That explains why their RIY is coming out more than the equivalent wrap quote I just looked at.

@arongunningham that's the answer they seem to give anyone asking.

in RIY Comment by richallum July 2018
@arongunningham That's spot on. Can you share how you've broken it down We're doing the same so it would be good to compare notes. Happy if you'd prefer DM in here or email richard@theparaplanners.com

in RIY Comment by richallum July 2018
Thanks @Jamie_Barnes That's how I'd do it although use Goal Seek. A few of us are having 'discussions' with a software provider about how they do it and I was trying to see if there's an actual formula rather than actually doing the calc step by ste…

There's an old cached version that some people see. If you click the link at the top of this thread you'll get there.

@Gustavo_Fring that was linked to the target if you put one in but seems to have gone. I think this is new instead.

Hi @redcard only for people who were there I'm afraid. You can see some of what was covered in this Howwow

Thanks David. We sent an email out last week with them in. Can you check your spam folder just in case? I'll DM you a link to it in here.

The normal CY stuff is in there but it's based on different assumptions to the TVC. Selectapension also now takes into account lifetime allowance and will adjust projected scheme pension at retirement if there is an excess based on a default comm…

in New TVC Comment by richallum July 2018
I agree with you both that there are very few cases where a client would transfer with the view of buying an annuity. We do full cash flows to consider suitability and don't think this adds a lot to that process but we have to show it from 1 Oct and…

Can't think of anything. Why does client want to do it?

We've been thinking about doing protection CPD like the tax & trust stuff we're doing with Utmost at the moment. If anyone knows someone or a company that have people like John Haley and would be willing to work with us, let me know.

Hi @abbas786 have you seen NextGen planners? They are based in Manchester and have a good community for new and upcoming advisers. They also do events in Manchester. Worth getting in touch with them.

It's really good to hear that you both enjoyed the Powwow. @Tory if geography is an issue, have you considered doing that remotely using something like Skype?

Pedant alert! GARS are safeguarded benefits but you do not need to be a PTS to advise on them, just the 'pension transfer light' permission from FCA.
