Wealth news and insights

Knowing what to do with inherited wealth can present a difficult and emotional challenge. And weighing up how best to put it to work to meet your short and long-term goals isn’t always straightforward. Cash flow modelling can be a vital tool in helping you decide what to do. 

There has been a significant growth and interest in investing on a responsible basis and the area is continually evolving. However, for investors, traditional ‘ethical’ investment solutions have tended to leave a limited choice of companies to invest in, compromising diversification and therefore investment risk/returns. ESG (environmental, social and governance) investing allows investors to take a proactive approach to investing responsibly but not at the expense of their risk/returns. 

Although we all know the cost of care in later life could be significant, few people realise the true extent of care home costs, nor do they adequately plan how to pay for them. Having a comprehensive wealth strategy in place can ensure you are financially prepared should you require long term care in the future.

We were delighted to win the Bita Risk Award for Best ESG (environment, social and governance) Investment Strategy at the 2023 City of London Wealth Management Awards. But what exactly is CGWM’s approach to ESG investing? And why do we feel ESG is no longer just a ‘nice-to-have’ for clients, but is fast becoming a mainstay of portfolios?

In order to meet your goals, both short- and long-term, you need to have a thorough understanding of your financial position, so that you can make the most of your money and create a comprehensive wealth plan for the future.
