Wealth Management
Independent investment and savings advice, built around your goals, your timescale and the level of risk you are comfortable with.
Cash and deposit savings on their own are not likely to be enough to secure your financial future. Some money should always be kept where you can reach it quickly, for everyday needs and the unexpected. But money left entirely in cash can be eroded by inflation over time, so as each year passes it buys a little less.
Investing, in its simplest form, is putting your money to work so it has the chance to grow ahead of inflation. For some people it is about building wealth to meet future goals. For others it is about generating an income they can use now. You do not need a large lump sum to start, but you do need to be comfortable that, unlike cash, the value of investments can fall as well as rise.
Successful wealth management means getting the foundations right, taking a longer-term view, making the most of tax-efficient wrappers such as ISAs, and spreading your money across different sectors and markets so your risk is diversified and your money has time to grow.
Who it’s for
- You have cash sitting in savings that is slowly losing value to inflation.
- You want to grow your money towards a future goal, or generate an income now.
- You have unused ISA allowance each year, or want a clear savings plan.
- You already invest and would like your portfolio reviewed.
Practical support with your wealth management.
We get the foundations in place first
Before you invest, we check that you have ready access to a cash fund for everyday and unexpected costs, and that you are not better off clearing expensive debts first.
We make the most of ISAs
We explain how ISAs let you save or invest free of tax on the interest and growth, help you choose between cash and stocks and shares, and make sure you use your allowance before it is lost.
We recommend a strategy that suits you
Whether you want to invest regular amounts or a lump sum, we explain the options, such as stocks and shares ISAs, unit trusts, open-ended investment companies and bonds, and the part each can play.
We spread your risk and review it
We diversify your money across sectors and markets to match your attitude to risk, and review your portfolio with you over time as your circumstances change.
The value of investments and the income from them may go down. You may not get back the original amount invested. Information on ISAs is based on our current understanding of taxation legislation, which is subject to change.
