Wealth management
What does wealth management involve?
Wealth management means an adviser looks at your investments, pensions, cash and income together, then helps you plan how they support your retirement, family and later-life priorities. It is about how the pieces fit, not a single product.
It usually continues with reviews over time, so the plan can be adjusted as your circumstances, tax rules or markets change. A review can also confirm that nothing needs to change.
What happens next
- You send a callback request or call us directly.
- An adviser contacts you to arrange a no-obligation introductory discussion. There is no charge for this initial conversation.
- If you would like advice after that, any charges are explained and agreed with you before anything proceeds.
Capital at risk
- The value of investments and any income from them can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you invest. Charges reduce returns.
- Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change in future.
- Inheritance, will and trust matters may need input from a solicitor or accountant.

Wealth management is advice that looks at your finances as a whole rather than one product at a time. An adviser considers your investments, pensions, cash savings and income together, alongside what matters to you: when you might retire, how much flexibility you want, and any plans to support children, grandchildren or other family members.
The aim is a coordinated plan you understand. That can mean deciding how much cash to keep accessible, how pensions and investments might work together to fund retirement, and which priorities come first. It is then reviewed over time, because circumstances, tax rules and markets change. Investments can fall as well as rise, and any plan carries risk.
Wealth management is not a trading service or an instant investment product, and it does not include legal, estate or accountancy services. Where wills, trusts or detailed tax returns are involved, a solicitor or accountant may need to be part of the conversation.
Looking for something narrower? If you need help with a specific decision, such as investing a lump sum or choosing between ISAs and other wrappers, see investment advice. For pension consolidation, drawdown or annuity questions, see pension advice.
Where passing on wealth is a priority, our inheritance tax planning page explains what advice covers. If your circumstances are more complex, such as business interests or multiple properties, see high net worth financial advice.
How We Add Value
- One view of your investments, pensions and cash, so decisions in one area are made with the others in mind.
- A considered cash reserve for short-term needs, so long-term money is not relied on for everyday spending.
- Retirement, family and later-life priorities discussed and ordered, with the trade-offs explained in plain English.
- Ongoing reviews where you choose them, with the scope and charges agreed in advance. A review may conclude that no change is needed.
Our Process
A no-obligation conversation about your overall position, what you want your money to do and what concerns you, so we can explain whether and how advice could help.
Your agreed review service
We explain whether an ongoing service is suitable, what reviews include and how charges apply before you agree to proceed. Reviews consider your changing priorities and may recommend leaving suitable arrangements unchanged.

Expert Insights
Common Questions
How is wealth management different from investment advice?
Investment advice focuses on specific decisions, such as how to invest a sum or which tax wrapper to use. Wealth management coordinates those decisions with your pensions, cash, retirement plans and family priorities, and usually includes reviewing the overall plan over time.
Do I need a large amount of money to use wealth management advice?
We do not set an arbitrary minimum on this page. Whether ongoing advice is worthwhile depends on your circumstances, the complexity of your finances and the cost relative to the value you expect. The initial discussion helps you decide.
Can you help with passing money to my family?
We can discuss family and inheritance priorities as part of your financial plan and how they affect your investments, pensions and cash. Wills, trusts and estate administration require a solicitor, and tax outcomes depend on your circumstances and may change.
Will my wealth be protected from falling in value?
No adviser can guarantee that. Investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than you put in. Charges also reduce returns. Advice aims to match risk to your goals and capacity for loss, not remove it.
Is there a charge for the first conversation?
No. The initial conversation is a no-obligation introductory discussion and there is no charge for it. If you decide to go further, any charges for subsequent advice are explained and agreed with you before any work proceeds.
What should I have ready before the first conversation?
A broad idea of what you hold, such as pensions, investments and savings, and what you would like them to achieve is enough. You do not need statements for the first call, and please do not include account numbers or amounts in the website form.
What do ongoing reviews cover?
If you choose ongoing advice, the scope of each review and its charges are agreed with you in advance. A review may recommend changes or conclude that your current arrangements remain suitable; no particular outcome is guaranteed. An adviser contacts you using the details you provide to arrange the introductory discussion at a time that suits you. There is no obligation to proceed afterwards.
Risk Warning: The value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up. You may get back less than you invest. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change.
