Wealth management explained
If you’re new to wealth management and would like to understand more, we’re here to explain how it works and get you up to speed on how it can help you achieve your financial goals.
What is wealth management?
Wealth management combines financial planning and investment strategy to sustain and grow your wealth. Alongside investment management, it encompasses retirement planning, inheritance tax and estate planning, and more.
Above all, wealth management offers you investment and advisory services under one roof to help you implement the most effective and tax-efficient financial plan at every stage of your life.
What are the advantages of wealth management?
The main advantage of wealth management is that it brings together many aspects of financial planning and money management in one comprehensive service centred on your unique needs and aspirations.
Whether you’re planning your child’s education, looking ahead to retirement or wanting to structure or transfer your wealth tax efficiently, you will be given your own dedicated personal Wealth Manager who will use their specialist knowledge and in-depth understanding of your future plans to create and manage a bespoke investment solution for you.

Investment involves risk. The value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
The tax treatment of all investments depends upon individual circumstances and the levels and basis of taxation may change in the future. Investors should discuss their financial arrangements with their own tax adviser before investing.
