Philip Bell

Senior Investment Director

I manage assets for a range of clients including private individuals, trusts, charities and pensions.  Whether you have existing investments in any of these areas that you wish to be reviewed or if you have cash to be invested, I will be delighted to speak with you.   Often my clients are seeking a joined up approach to the management of family wealth, thinking about next generations or have inherited money or sold a business and they need guidance as to how it should be invested to meet their needs.  I would welcome the opportunity to listen to what you require and develop an approach with the aim to meet your requirements.

My focus is on providing a personal service, listening to what my client needs and then tailoring my service in a manner that is clear, understandable and transparent.

Rob Jones

Senior Investment Director, Head of Bournemouth Office

I help clients with some of the most important decisions they'll ever make regarding their, and their family's, financial future. Many of my clients are investing for the first time so ensuring they understand how investments work, what can happen (good and bad) and how we work together is a key starting point. Building trust and understanding at the outset is crucial and if I feel our services, or investments generally, aren't suitable for them I will tell them up front. Equally, I have a large number of clients who have been serial investors for many years. Here I add value by ensuring their existing investments are best suited for the risk appetite they have, make sure costs are trimmed wherever possible, and give thought to educating future generations or their spouse on how the investments can help them in the future. I work on my own directly with clients or hand in hand with other intermediaries such as IFAs or Solicitors, so I am used to working in a variety of different ways to provide the service a client needs.

Scott Jones

Divisional Director, Head of Bournemouth Office

I work closely with clients and their professional advisors, to achieve the most suitable investment solutions for them. My client base consists of private individuals, companies, Trusts and charities. My aim is a simple one; to become a deeply trusted advisor and to ensure we always deliver a high standard of personal service. The key to this is good, straight forward, dialogue and communication. This should ensure that my clients and their advisors feel empowered and confident at all times and I have sufficient knowledge, to make the correct investment decisions. As Head of the Bournemouth Office, I strive to ensure these standards exist and are consistent across the Bournemouth team.
