There are no ‘typical’ clients

Your journey and story is unique. You have your own distinctive needs, aspirations, passions and purpose. What you’ll typically have in common is financial success, and an innate desire to continue exploring life’s rich opportunities – both personally and professionally. It is this success and individualism that our Private Office is designed to support and continue to drive forward. Our Private Office is suitable for individuals with more than £3 million in investable assets.

Ways this benefits you:

Access to a broad team of experts across financial planning, investment management and banking services.

Ensures future generations are considered through tailored legacy planning aligned to your goals.

Management and administration of companies, trusts and other tax structures, saving you time.

A truly global approach to investing supported by our expert in-house research teams.

Provide protection against the two biggest risks to your wealth – taxation and inflation – through sound financial planning alongside expert investment management.

 

 

Financial planning

We ensure you are on track for the future you want for yourself and your family, by offering a tailored suite of financial planning solutions. It all starts with helping articulate the things that matter most to you.

By viewing each financial decision as part of a wider personal strategy, it helps to better judge the short and longer-term impact on your journey towards making your goals, your reality.

Wealth structuring

No one likes to pay tax on their hard-earned money, and few truly understand the intricacies of the UK tax system. With hundreds of reliefs available and a constantly changing rulebook, finding the best arrangements for you is the key to wealth structuring and tax-efficiency. We can help you navigate those complexities and identify the best structures to help protect, grow, and pass on your wealth. 

Passing on your wealth

Whether your motivation is supporting relatives and future generations, protecting vulnerable family members, or leaving a lasting charitable legacy – passing on your wealth is a highly emotive and complicated topic. It’s as much about what you want to do, as it is about ensuring your largest beneficiary isn’t the taxman. Working with you, we can help create a succession plan that combines flexibility with tax-efficient savings, providing a level of control that matches your needs.

 

 

Investment management

We deliver a comprehensive and personalised bespoke investment management service by creating portfolios to suit your unique financial objectives.

Our seasoned team of professionals build portfolios by carefully selecting a diverse range of global investments from stocks and bonds to alternative investments. We ensure that these are aligned with your risk tolerance and long-term investment objectives.

Strength of research 

Our Private Office team work hand in hand with our in-house investment research office to identify global, interesting and attractive opportunities that deserve to be considered in our clients portfolios.

Our teams ensure we stay ahead of market developments, identifying optimal, innovative opportunities and managing market risk.

Discretionary and advisory investment solutions

We can manage your portfolio on a discretionary basis, which means we save you time by managing day-to-day decisions on your behalf.

If you prefer to be more involved in decision-making, we can also manage your portfolio on an advisory basis. In this case, we would request your approval before any changes to your portfolio are made, which can be more appropriate for clients who wish to follow the transition of their portfolio more closely.

 

The value of investments and the income derived from them can go down as well as up and you could get back less than you originally invested. Your capital is at risk.
