The service offered by Barbican will have far more effect on the investor's
ultimate returns than the use of any one particular financial product.
Nonetheless, we carefully select each of the third-party financial products offered to Barbican's clients, and all offer the following features:
 |
regulation within either the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man |
|
no hidden charges |
|
unambiguous documentation |
|
the ability to add to the investment at any time. |
|
the option to take a penalty-free income, starting immediately after the
initial investment. |
|
the flexibility to turn income 'on' and 'off' at will, and to make
'one-off' withdrawals. |
POINTS TO NOTE ABOUT FINANCIAL PRODUCTS
|
A financial 'product' is quite simply a vehicle to help the investor achieve his
or her aims. |
|
Some financial products require active management; others require none. |
|
There are hundreds of financial product providers, offering many
thousands of products. |
|
Financial product providers may be efficient, inefficient, or indifferent! Also their
products. 'Big' does not necessarily mean 'good'. |
|
Most products may be classified within a surprisingly small number of
generic groupings. |
|
The following of fashion in financial products is commonplace and
potentially dangerous. |
|
Most financial products within the offshore market place are intended to have
a minimum life of five years, and many will charge a penalty if you withdraw
all of your money within that timescale. |
