TAG - Overview

WHY: The More We Search The Less We Understand.A recent study* has shown that Britons spend nearly 180 million hours each year researching essential financial purchases. The study also suggests that the more time we spend researching, the less we understand the nature of what we have bought.


• 72% don't know what type of mortgage they have (tracker, fixed rate, etc).

• 67% don't know what their monthly mortgage payment is.

• 78% don't know the interest rate of their mortgage.

• 59% don't know the basic details of their contents insurance policy.

TAG - Overview

TRUE: Nothing Can Beat Good Advice From Real People.Understanding what we are buying is the first step to ensuring we get value for money. Understanding a product and whether it is right for you often means you will need to ask some questions.


People need quality advice as well as on-line searches. They

need to be able to ask someone what “all risks” means and what

“accidental damage” covers. They need someone to explain to

them why a flexible mortgage may be worth considering and

why they may want to consider an investment portfolio which

regularly rebalances itself. In short, people need good advice and

to get that, they need good Advisors.

TAG - Overview

WHAT: All Kinds Of Everything.But where can you find an expert who you can really trust to help you with each of your financial requirements? Sometimes they can be hard to track down.


In each area of advice we need someone who can offer specialist advice. In today’s financial world, there is no longer room for a Jack of all trades.

But finding a range of financial specialists in one place has been a real challenge. Until now…

TAG has created a website which puts you in touch with specialist Advisors.-professionals who understand their areas thoroughly and are able to help you find exactly what you need as well as guiding you to the most suitable product providers.

TAG - Overview

HOW: Follow An Expert Guide.The Financial Landscape is arduous enough! Don’t go it alone. Get some specialist help. It costs nothing to talk with one of our Third party Advisors

Need an Advisor who speaks your language? Need someone who understands your culture or your industry background?

Whoever you are, wherever you live and whatever your advice requirements might be, we have access to independent, specialist Advisors who understand your circumstances and can offer expert guidance.


TAG - Overview

WHO: Great Advice – Even Better Service!We screen all our specialist Advisors and select only those who can ensure that TAG Members receive the highest levels of customer service.

All firms are authorised where required and, in the case of financial Advisors, regulated by the Financial Services Authority.

We screen the Advisors and select only those who can demonstrate an ability and a willingness to offer high levels of service and advice.

TAG - Overview

TOOLS: Money Management – Your Financial Filing Cabinet & Free Annual Financial Health Check.At last. A simple way for every TAG Member to keep tabs on all their financial products and planning. Never lose track of what you’ve got and the reason you’ve got it.


Your Financial Filing Cabinet allows you to log all your financial products, plans and policies in one place. Held in ultra secure storage, only you can access the data but you can allow your specialist Advisors access from time to time which will save you (and them) hours of time filling out forms to gather this information.

What’s more, we have developed a Free TAG Financial Health Check Report which turns this information into a meaningful annual financial report . This supplies you with an easy to read graphic illustration of where you stand financially as well as highlighting those areas which do not currently measure up to your goals and objectives. If you want to take action to resolve any of these areas, simply click the relevant link in the report and a specialist Advisor will be in touch. It’s as simple as that!

TAG - Overview

TOOLS: Advisor Centre – Keeping You In The Picture


Sometimes a financial purchase can be a process in itself. Now, keeping on top of it all has never been easier. Imagine you’re moving house. You are dealing with ; the mortgage Advisor, the solicitor handling the conveyance, the firm organising the new buildings and contents insurance, the estate agent and a specialist life assurance Advisor. A sure fire recipe for stress.

Advisor Centre is a communication platform hosted on our website. TAG Members can log in using an ultra-secure password system and not only view the notes on each of the Advisors’ files with whom they are dealing, but also communicate with the Advisor instantly and by e-mail, check to see the outstanding action points and check off tasks completed which were assigned to them. Everything is in real time so they can be bang up to date with what’s going on.

So whether you are moving house, dealing with a protracted pension transfer or a simple life assurance application which ends up being not so simple, Advisor Centre can help take the stress out of it all and make sure you remain well and truly in the picture.

TAG - Overview

TOOLS: Financial Auto-Pilot & Mortgage Watch


Never Miss An Opportunity To Save Money.

One of the first things you need to do as a TAG member is log your insurance renewal dates. Although it is a common misconception that certain insurances should only be changed at renewal, it is true to say that that’s when most of us do it. If you miss the opportunity, to compare what you are paying versus what’s available in the marketplace , you could find yourself out of pocket for the next 12 months.

TAG Financial Auto-Pilot allows you to enter your insurance renewal dates in your Financial Filing cabinet and then forget about them.A specialist Advisor will be assigned by TAG to contact you ahead of time to ensure you are aware of your money saving options. As a TAG member, you can benefit from our Mortgage Watch system which will ensure that before your current mortgage rate expires, you will be contacted by a specialist mortgage Advisor who will help you to find the best available rates and options available. This continues throughout the term of the mortgage - a service which could save you thousands of pounds.

TAG - Overview

TOOLS: Money Management & Financial Know-How.They don’t teach money management at school –but it’s a skill we all need in everyday life.

We want TAG members to be financially educated. That’s why we will constantly make available; tips, systems and information to our members to make sure they know how to use their money wisely.

Many of our Third Party Advisors have agreed to contribute articles and conduct on-line seminars for the benefit of our members who have expressed an interest in a whole range of subjects from insuring their homes to how to save tax

If you don’t control your money, it will most certainly control you.


WIN: Get Your Own Back.We have negotiated some particularly favourable terms and conditions with each of the specialists who have agreed to advise our members.

This includes the fact that part of the commission or fees which the Advisor earns when they transact your business comes back to TAG.

And therefore…to you!

It’s not going to make you rich but it’s our way of saying thank you for being a TAG Member and using the TAG website to access those products and services you already buy.

It’s another reason to make TAG your first choice when it comes to financial purchases.

Club Membership


NEW: Financial G.P.Imagine having your own retained fee based Advisor who helps you to manage your finances all year round.

A Financial General Practitioner is an holistic Advisor with a general understanding in all areas of financial advice. He or she will be your first port of call for any financial planning or product purchase and will bring in and oversee specialist Advisors when their contributions are required.

Since Financial G.P.s are paid by TAG to be completely objective , Club Members can relax in the knowledge that all the advice they receive is under the direction and scrutiny of a Financial G.P. who does not depend on commissions from the sale of products.

Up until now, this has been an option which has been out of reach for many individuals since the cost of a fee based Advisor has traditionally been out of reach for all but the wealthiest individuals. Now thanks to Club Membership, professional fee based advice is accessible to all TAG Members .

Club Membership


NEW: Financial Guru ProgramKnowledge is power and this program empowers each Club Member to take total control of their financial future .

The Financial Guru Program uses an on-line training module system to lead TAG Club Members through a series of tasks designed to enhance their understanding of their own financial planning.

As TAG Club Members progress through the GURU program, they will find their own financial situation improving as a result. Their knowledge of how to save money and how to make it work for them will increase significantly. As a result, their discussions with their Financial G.P. will become ever more meaningful.

Club Membership


LEARN: Online Seminars & Live “Invitation Only” EventsWhatever your interest and whatever lies on your financial horizon, prepare by attending our regular live and on-line seminars .

Nothing beats hearing it from Financial Specialists and being able to ask questions. Maybe you have an inheritance tax concern and would like to attend an on-line seminar or perhaps you are thinking of retiring and you want to explore your options as to how best to take your pension.

Whatever your interest, these events will prove invaluable. Most live events allow you to bring a friend and on-line events allow you to take it all in whilst relaxing at home in your favourite armchair.
