How MRA\Transact Works

Put in the simplest terms, MRA\Transact provides one-stop investing. Rather than dealing with many different products and providers, you can now make all purchases by ordering them through MRA\Transact. This gives us the ability to provide you with a single portfolio report of your assets and gives you and your fellow MRA\Transact users pooled purchasing power discounts. The process works like this:

1. We determine your needs with you from a purely financial planning perspective.
     
2. We allocate assets to meet your needs and personal preferences.
     
3. We choose the best tax "wrapper" (pension, ISA, direct etc.) for each asset.
     
4. We choose the best fund manager for each asset.
     
5. We allocate these investments to different "tax wrappers" (a pension or an ISA for example).
     
6. You invest into your client money account, and with your authorisation, we purchase assets on your behalf. Or you can purchase assets personally if you wish.
     
7. We buy the investments, allocate them to your tax wrappers, and keep the records.
     
8. Advisory fees for our services are paid with your authority direct from your MRA\Transact account; no payments are made to us by product providers.

In effect, this arrangement converts a huge amount of paperwork into a single simple operation. And, as your portfolio continues, its value can be accessed on line with real time valuations - and your ongoing portfolio management needs are executed, recorded, and reported on effectively on one statement.

Until now you have had to put up with large institution multi choice telephone irritation systems that leave you holding on, wasting your time and often giving you wrong answers - not any more!
