Get investment advice

We understand how important it is to plan your financial future. If you’re not sure which investments are right for you, our expert Financial Advisers can help you achieve your goals.

When to get investment advice

Perhaps you’ve saved up, received an inheritance, or are making plans for your retirement?

If you’re not sure which investments are right for your needs, our investment advice could help.

Why take investment advice

Our full range of both Model Portfolio and multi-asset investments is only available through our investment advice service. Bear in mind, additional eligibility criteria apply for Model Portfolio investments.

When you take advice, our expert Financial Advisers can provide:

  • Help planning your financial future, giving security and peace of mind.
  • An initial consultation, to discuss if advice is right for you.
  • Tailored advice - we'll get to know your circumstances and your financial needs.
  • Advice that’s restricted to our limited range of carefully selected growth and income funds — identifying which is right for you.

Investing through Nationwide

We’ve worked with Aegon, our trusted third-party investments provider, to bring you a range of carefully selected investments. By investing through Nationwide, you can:

  • Invest with a lump sum, monthly payments or both.

  • Choose a Stocks and Shares ISA to maximise your ISA allowance; we also offer a General Investment Account.

  • Check how your investment is doing online, by logging in to your Aegon Customer Dashboard.

  • Get quarterly statements on your investment’s performance.

  • Withdraw your money and switch between investments, without penalty charges.

Bear in mind, Nationwide sells funds, products and the platform as a package. These may be available separately outside Nationwide through other providers.

Important:

The value of your investment can go down as well as up so you may get back less than you originally invested.

It’s important to invest for at least 6 years to help ride out any changes in the market. That said, you can take out your money at any time.

How investment advice works

  1. Initial call

    We’ll check if advice is right for you and outline the costs involved.

    If it is, we’ll arrange your consultation with one of our expert Financial Advisors.

  2. Your consultation

    We’ll get to know your current financial situation, needs and attitude to risk. This helps us discuss your financial goals.

  3. Get your recommendation

    Based on what you’ve told us, we’ll provide your personalised recommendation.

    If you’re happy, we’ll start your recommendation.

For continued help keeping your financial plans on track, we offer an Ongoing Advice service for Nationwide investors

We provide our initial consultations without charge. If you later choose to invest through Nationwide, there will be a charge for our advice service.
