James has been my financial adviser for several years now, and I am continually impressed by his customer care, knowledge of the market, and attention to detail. During our regular face to face meetings, my finances are discussed and reviewed in a clear and practical way. If I have any questions, James is always on hand with easy to understand advice. And every decision we make together is promptly followed up. I can’t recommend James and KLO Financial Services highly enough. They are a company who genuinely care about their clients, and I feel comforted to know my finances are in such safe hands.
Saving for the Future
How can Tax Efficient Planning help me?
You can be sure that you are making the most out of your assets by investing in a tax efficient manner.
There are many different types of tax-efficient vehicles available which includes Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs), Pensions, Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs) and Enterprise Investment Schemes (EISs) amongst others.
Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) are tax-efficient savings and investment accounts. You can use them to save money or invest in stocks and shares. With ISA’s, you pay no income tax on the interest or dividends you receive, and any profits from investments are free of Capital Gains Tax. This means that any capital invested into an ISA can grow in a tax-free environment.
Another method of saving tax-efficiently is pensions. Your pension pot can grow in a tax-free environment just like ISA’s, and money you contribute into a pension can receive upfront tax relief (although pension income is taxable, notwithstanding tax free cash of 25% of the fund value in a defined contribution pension).
Venture Capital Trust are portfolios of tax investments into early stage businesses, which receive upfront tax relief of up to 30%, provided the shares are held for at least five years. They can produce tax free dividends, and there is no Capital Gains Tax on disposal.
Enterprise Investment Schemes also offer upfront tax relief, but also qualify for Inheritance Tax relief after two year, as well as Capital Gains Tax deferral and loss relief against Income Tax
With so many different tax efficient vehicles, it is important that you choose the right strategy for you.

What are the benefits of Tax Efficient Savings?
At KLO Financial Services, we share a passion for the importance of personal financial management. Here are five powerful reasons why saving tax on your savings, with the help of an expert financial adviser is critical:
Tax Savings
Of course, the main benefit to saving efficiently is the large tax benefits. All interest earned in an ISA for example, is always tax free. If you have ISA’s such as a stocks and shares ISA, you don’t pay tax on any dividends from shares and you don’t pay capital gains tax on any profits made from investments.
Long-Term Goals
With the assistance of a financial adviser, you can prepare for the future comfortably and resourcefully, knowing you are not paying unnecessary tax. This will increase the amount you save.
Improved Financial Understanding
Better financial understanding can be achieved when measurable financial goals are set, the effects of the decision understood, and the results reviewed. Having the support of a financial adviser gives you a whole new approach to your finances.
Increased Financial Security
The use of tax efficient savings and investments mean that you can have increased financial security. Reducing the amount of tax you pay means that you are increasing your wealth and are more prepared if anything unexpected should happen.

The total amount you can put into an ISA is limited, currently £20,000 per annum, this is known as your ISA allowance. Likewise, the most you can put into your pension and receive tax relief on is £40,000 per annum (although you may be able to ‘carry forward’ unused allowance from previous tax years). Some types of investments have a maximum, or minimum amounts you can invest, so understanding regulations and product rules is important. Your financial adviser will be able to help you with this.

What Our Clients Say?
I couldn’t be more pleased to have James Glavey at KLO as my financial adviser. He is doing really good things with my portfolio, but above all I trust him to do so and this is paramount for me.
My decision to move my portfolio to KLO was driven by the professionalism and reassurance that Dan Styles gave me when I met him. Not only has he surpassed all my expectations but I have experienced, first hand, the superior attention to detail that he, and the KLO team have given. I believe that all of this stems from being a small independent firm, who treat your money as if it were their own. I couldn’t recommend them more for peace of mind for the future
Dan has been ultra professional , explaining all my options in a straightforward way and his customer service and that of KLO has been first rate .
I would highly recommend Dan and the team at KLO.
