We specialise in meeting the wealth management needs of families who have created significant capital, or who earn higher incomes, and whose circumstances are therefore more complicated than most. All our costs and charges are fully transparent and competitive, whilst we believe our performance management is rigorous and industry-beating.
We provide a Multi-Family Office approach which includes a full spectrum of wealth services from investment management through to tax efficient structuring, succession planning, pensions, specialist lending & insurance, philanthropy and access to cash management facilities.
We help our clients to create a structured financial plan with the aim of mitigating income, capital gains and Inheritance Tax within the parameters of their individual circumstances. Whether clients want to grow their wealth or receive a regular income, we aim to help them obtain the best possible net returns on their capital in relation to their tolerance to risk and investment objectives.
We also place a strong emphasis on estate planning, in particular ensuring as far as possible, that family assets are protected against third party claims.
We have worldwide experience with clients who hold assets across multiple jurisdictions, and we are able to accommodate non-domiciled UK residents by using Guernsey or Dublin for offshore custody (and also US clients via a referral to one of our affiliated organisations).
