We do not offer our services to individuals outside the UK.

1. Regulatory Status

We Are Not Authorised by the FCA

We may receive a referral fee for successful introductions (this is disclosed where applicable)
We do not provide any financial advice ourselves
Any advice you receive will be provided by FCA-authorised firms, not by us

2. Limitations of Our Calculations

The retirement projections and calculations provided by Wealth365 are based on assumptions and simplifications. You should be aware that:

2.1 Future Performance

Investment returns are not guaranteed. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
The value of investments can fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than you invest.
Growth rate assumptions used in projections are illustrative only.

2.2 Tax Rules

UK tax legislation changes frequently. The rates and allowances shown are based on the 2026/27 tax year and may be out of date.
Individual circumstances affect how tax rules apply to you.
We cannot account for all possible tax reliefs, allowances, or interactions.
You should consult HMRC or a qualified tax adviser for guidance on your specific situation.

2.3 State Pension

State Pension projections are based on current rules and the Triple Lock, which may be modified or removed by future governments.
State Pension age may change.
For an accurate State Pension forecast, request a statement from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) or check your National Insurance record online.

2.4 Pension Allowances

Annual Allowance, Lump Sum Allowance, and other pension limits are subject to change.
Tapered Annual Allowance calculations are simplified and may not reflect your exact situation.
Carry forward rules and Money Purchase Annual Allowance (MPAA) may apply to you.

2.5 Inflation and Economic Assumptions

Inflation projections are assumptions only. Actual inflation may vary significantly.
Economic conditions, interest rates, and other factors are unpredictable.
