Retirement Planning

admin — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 01:20:46 +0000

Less and less can you rely on support from the state to provide financial security in your retirement years. Planning ahead, therefore, has never been more vital. Not only because the amount you will need to ensure the retirement lifestyle you want is likely to take many years to accumulate, also because of the variety of saving and investment options available to you, and the number of different financial strategies at your disposal, particularly at the point of retirement.

From designing your retirement plan, perhaps in the early years of your career, to regularly reviewing your plan as the years go by to ensure it is still on track, to helping you decide on the most appropriate retirement income options when you come to retire and beyond. We have been advising clients in this area of their finances for more than forty years – independently and expertly.

Independence a must

admin — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 01:15:31 +0000

We are committed to providing truly independent financial advice and defend this philosophy passionately. Our independence means that we have access to the whole of the market place, which we believe is the only route to appropriate advice. Our only allegiance is to the client, not to a product provider. As such, we will only ever act in the best interests of our clients, providing solutions because they are the most appropriate, not because they are the only solutions we are able to offer.

Expertise a given

As a prestigious organisation, we set ourselves the highest standards. All financial advisers are qualified to the standards required by our regulator, indeed, many surpass these standards, and furthering knowledge and pursuit of specialisations is actively encouraged. All advisers work within well-structured management and regulatory frameworks, and have available to them numerous operational and intellectual support services, developed to ensure the quality and consistency of advice.

Who Belongs in ASW?

admin — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 17:12:54 +0000

ASW is a community of “like-minded” people from all over the world, but who are these people? What are their defining characteristics? Are our members indeed the well-connected, well-traveled, well- heeled, and well-educated people we hope they are? Are they still people with impeccable tastes and strong opinions on important matters but with the background to present them decorously and eloquently? Who belongs in ASW? And what’s the point of a velvet-roped cyber world anyway?

A few years ago Harper’s Bazaar described ASW as an “exclusive mix of business, tycoons, American socialites, old school family names, nouveau-riche newcomers and minor European royalty; where you regularly brush cursors with bold-faced names such as Ivanka Trump, James Blunt, Camilla Al Fayed, Harvey Weinstein, the Scarry sisters, and Allegra Hicks.” To The New York Times we were “Facebook for the rich” and the Wall Street Journal called us “Myspace for Millionaires.” A private jet was once rumored to be sold between two members in the marketplace. Enough said.

Since then, however, ASW has traveled a bumpy road toward growing its membership. Many of ASW’s first members lament the bygone era when members were scarce and invitation rights even more so. At the end of its first year, from 2004 to 2005, ASW had just less than 50,000 members. Now in 2011, ASW houses close to 650,000 profiles. But are these new members the members ASW had envisioned at the outset? Is there an ASW type?

Looking at site metrics alone, the average ASW member is between the ages of 25-34 with 53% of members in that group. The next largest age bracket is 35 to 44. More ASW members list themselves as single than married. Most ASW members have manager, owner, associate, or director in their job title. The interests listed most often by ASW members are music, adventure travel, nightlife, art, film, fashion, and wine. There are members in nearly every country around the world. The United States, Italy, Great Britain, France and Germany have the largest ASW populations. London, Paris, New York City, Milan, and Madrid are the largest ASW cities. The most popular forum for old and new members is Le Café.

But metrics and averages don’t tell the whole story. To find out who belongs in ASW, you have to go to the members themselves.

I opened the discussion in the forums a couple of weeks ago and talked one on one with members as well. Whilst everyone had negative feedback (a little glass half empty is inevitable), most were still impressed with what ASW had to offer, especially when it came to travel advice and information.

According members, there isn’t a “type.” There are too many members living in too many places for there to be one kind of person in ASW. Most agreed that what had started as a group of very similar people in 2004 had become more varied and that was both a good and a bad thing. According to members, increasing membership and granting more invitation rights opened the site to a wider cross-section of society, letting in more people who do belong and many who don’t.

While there is no one type in ASW, there are attributes that every member agrees they want to see. Members were certainly not short on opinions about those who do belong in ASW and who don’t. Those who do belong are those who can respect the opinions of others, especially in the forums. Members discussed the forums with reverence, like a sacred place they viewed as under attack from those who sought to lower its standard both in content and tone. Those who don’t belong are those who can’t maintain the high standards that were once the norm in the forums. Those who do belong bring their own expertise to the community and contribute to it in a positive way. Those who don’t belong are unwilling to accept the privacy so many of our members come to ASW specifically to enjoy.

In other words, we all still believe that ASW members are or can be what was envisioned in 2004. And this is the only member that truly belongs in ASW. The ASW ideal leaves so much room for diversity of opinion, place, and situation while maintaining what makes ASW an invaluable online site. Maintaining a level of respect and trust — that’s the point of a velvet-roped cyber world.

Our online lives, like our offline lives, are what we make of them. The results and outcomes are directly related to the effort and type of energy, positive or negative, that we put into them. Change is inevitable, but whether that change is positive or negative isn’t the responsibility of one person but the community as a whole — each and every member. While there is no one “type,” there is one site and that one site can have an overall environment of respect and trust so long as each member strives to make it that way.

CHALLENGE YOUR MIND

admin — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 14:24:01 +0000

“A punch between the eyes.”. Portfolio strategy. Time-based competition. Workonomics. Richness vs. reach. Trading up. Ideas that drive sustained advantage. Ideas that change clients, industries, and even society. But why should this matter?

Markets reward companies—and leaders—who find a different and better way to compete. Borrowed answers and undifferentiated strategies only achieve parity. At DVision, we aspire to outperform.

Achieving advantage and generating strategic insight requires and inspires your best. At DVision, you’ll be challenged to find the innovative answer for your clients and you will work alongside them to make it happen. You will look at new and old information with fresh eyes; from your different perspective will see the unexploited segment, the competitive niche, the better operating model. Here, the definition of the problem and the best way to approach it are not the foregone conclusions of others. They belong to you and your team.

Does this sound like a challenge? Does it sound like you?
