Financial planning

A structured approach before any investment decision

Before any investment advice can be provided, it is essential to understand your personal circumstances, objectives, and tolerance for risk.

Our planning process focuses on preparation, clarity, and regulatory suitability, ensuring that any future advice is appropriate and aligned with your situation.

This stage does not involve investment recommendations or product selection. It is designed to ensure that decisions are made on a well‑informed and compliant basis.

Why planning comes first

Investment decisions should never be made in isolation or without context. A structured planning process helps to:

  • Clarify your financial goals and priorities
  • Understand your investment horizon and expectations
  • Assess your ability to bear losses and tolerance for risk
  • Ensure regulatory suitability before advice is provided

This approach protects both clients and advisers and forms the foundation of responsible investment advice under MiFID II.

Our role during the planning stage

J. Knobel Investor Services Limited acts as a CySEC‑registered tied agent of a licensed Cyprus Investment Firm.
At this stage, our role is to:

  • Guide you through the information‑gathering and assessment process
  • Explain how suitability and investment advice work
  • Ensure that any future advice is provided in a compliant and structured manner

Investment advice, where provided, is issued only after completion of the necessary assessments and through the appropriate regulatory process.
