Wealth planning

Our wealth planners can help you plan your future today

What exactly is wealth planning? Wealth planning involves advising you on how to structure your wealth in order to help protect it, grow it, and ultimately pass it on to your family and loved ones.

Our wealth planners operate independently with no ties to any financial product or service, not even our own. This means your personal Wealth Planner can work with you in a clear, transparent partnership, giving you objective, comprehensive financial advice wherever you are in life.

How our wealth planning service works

  1. Your personal Wealth Planner will look at your current circumstances including any business interests and your future financial needs.
  2. Your personal Wealth Planner will draw on their expertise and experience to devise a wealth planning strategy for you, with the aim of preserving, growing and passing on your wealth as tax efficiently as possible.
  3. Your personal Wealth Planner will regularly review your financial plan alongside your savings and investments to ensure they are working hard and harmoniously together, to achieve your objectives both now and in the future.

  

David Goodfellow, Head of UK Financial Planning and Min Saha, Investment Director explain how independent wealth planning can help you to achieve your long-term financial goals.

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.

Is cash flow modelling right for you?

How can cash flow modelling help you to make long-term financial choices with confidence? No matter what your circumstances, you will have essential costs, both certain and unexpected, to meet now and in years to come. Cash flow planning takes account of unknowns such as inflation rates, and makes assumptions, to help you look into the future.

David Goodfellow

Head of UK Financial Planning

I started my financial career as a trainee Chartered Accountant on Black Monday in 1987 and moved to the world of private client financial planning in 1990. I was an advisor for Watson Wyatt and then Hill Martin before moving to Eden Financial to start their Financial Advisers business. The Company acquired Eden Financial in 2012, and I subsequently became Head of Wealth Planning in 2015.

I specialise in both financial planning and tax driven investment planning, including advising on VCTs, EISs and investments attracting Business Relief for IHT purposes. I am a member of the Personal Finance Society and the CISI.

I have been involved in a number Wealth Planning acquisitions the company has made over the past few years and have seen our adviser team grow from approximately ten in 2019, to nearly 50 in 2023. Retaining a strong culture within the firm and ensuring our clients receive consistently high-quality advice and solutions is largely to thank for this expansion.
