Our wealth management services

Our approach to wealth management is a powerful combination of two distinct but complementary services: Financial Planning and Investment Management. You can access either one on its own but together they make a completely holistic approach to looking after you and your money.

The specific role of our Financial Planners is to get to know you and understand your life goals and objectives before recommending a tailored financial plan to help get you there.

Our Investment Managers have a different focus. They dedicate themselves to investing your money effectively so that you have the funds to meet your goals. They will build an investment portfolio based not only on your needs, but also on your appetite for risk, capacity for loss, and your timeline.

Financial Planning

Our experienced Financial Planners can help you chart your path through life. They’ll ensure you are financially ready for every stage – from getting your own place to funding your children’s education before anticipating a comfortable retirement. We’ll talk to you and get to know you. Once we’re sure that we understand the life goals that matter most to you, we’ll recommend a plan to help you get there.

Investment Management

Whether you are looking to grow your capital, generate an income or preserve your wealth, our Investment Managers will put your money to work for you. They’ll place it in tailored portfolios designed to give you confidence in achieving the future you want, because putting your interests front and centre lies at the very heart of our investment approach.

Our recommendations are always made-to-measure for you, based on your personal circumstances, and never off-the-shelf. We take care to balance the potential risks and returns so you can have peace of mind knowing your investments are working hard and smart for you.

What is wealth management? Is it right for you?

Wealth management allows you to put together a plan so that your finances can support your ambitions in life. And that can mean different things to different people. For example, you might be approaching your later years and seeking advice on how you can prepare for retirement or the steps you can take to provide for your loved ones.

You may be one of the 15.6 million UK adults who have more than £10,000 in investible assets, or you might be thinking about making your money more tax-efficient. Our wealth management services cover all of the above and more, and our expert team will be more than happy to discuss your needs and goals.

Wealth management - frequently asked questions

Why do people seek wealth management advice?

When we make any major decisions in life, it makes sense to call on experts in the field. Wealth management is no different. You need sound, impartial advice from those who have the experience and depth of knowledge to help you.

Most people seek wealth management advice for exactly that reason. They want to place their trust in the hands of a professional whom they know will have their best interests at heart. They’re looking for clarity and transparency at all times, as well as a clear explanation of the various options available to them.

The mass uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic means it’s more important than ever for wealth management providers to understand their clients’ needs and future plans. People want assurances that they’re being looked after, and that’s what we always strive to achieve.
What are the benefits of wealth management?

There are obvious advantages to wealth management, primarily seeing a return on your investment. But the benefits extend far beyond a purely financial scope. Our services mean you can gain a greater understanding of the landscape, which will help you to make decisions in the future.

It can also allow you to set clearly defined life goals and map out a plan for how you are going to reach those. On top of all that, private wealth management with Investec means you can set yourself up for the future as well as provide for your loved ones – something we all aspire to.

There are not just material benefits at play, however. That all-important peace of mind in knowing that your money is being expertly managed can release a great amount of pressure. It can have a hugely positive impact on your mental wellbeing and means you can focus on other areas of your life unburdened.
