Wealth Road Map

Strategic approach to handle the
complexities of financial life.

We aim to ensure every client has a strategic approach to navigate the complexities of financial life. This approach focuses on their needs, wants, and wishes. It considers their current situation, financial position, and personal objectives.

We help clients harness their resources to improve their potential in support of their personal objectives. We create a unique Wealth Road Map for each client, consisting of two harmonising components: a Planning Strategy and a Portfolio Strategy.

First: Planning Strategy

The Planning Strategy is the first step when developing a client’s Wealth Road Map.

We use Cash Flow Technology to create a clear picture of our clients' financial future. This includes life expectancy, existing arrangements, surplus income, anticipated asset growth, financial milestones, and macroeconomic factors.

We forecast two scenarios: one based on their current trajectory, and another based on our proposed planning. These forecasts are presented in a detailed report, outlining the benefits and limitations of our suggestions. This allows for thoughtful discussion and refinement. We then address any queries and adjust the plan to finalise their Planning Strategy.

We offer two planning services: our Wealth Navigating Service and our Wealth Optimising Service. Generally, clients are either nearing retirement or already retired, looking to minimise death duties.

Our planning services are described below.

Wealth Navigating Service

Advanced Retirement Planning

How much wealth should you amass
for a plentiful retirement?

This service is for clients who aspire to achieve financial independence and live without the need to work.

Such clients aim to enhance the liquid value of their wealth by focusing on capital accumulation. This helps ensure a plentiful lifestyle in retirement.

Our Wealth Navigating Service is for clients that hold savings, investment and retirement accounts with a combined market value greater than £250,000.

Wealth Optimising Service

Confident Succession Planning

How much wealth would you like to
preserve for beneficiaries?

This service is for clients who seek to lower inheritance tax on their assets.

Such clients focus on estate decumulation to reduce the taxable value of their wealth. This allows them to leave more for loved ones while retaining enough capital for income needs.

Our Wealth Optimising Service is for clients with a net worth over £2 million including savings, investment and retirement accounts of £500,000 or more.

Next: Portfolio Strategy

Once the Planning Strategy is in place, we turn to the Portfolio Strategy.

We apply Modern Portfolio Theory to improve risk control and target profitability. This depends on factors like time horizon, risk tolerance, and inflation risk.

Some clients prefer an active allocation approach, while others opt for a more cost-effective passive alternative. Clients range from cautious to balanced, with a few being adventurous. We begin with a risk assessment, continue with a discussion on risk, and conclude with a Portfolio Strategy that meets their personal objectives.

Our portfolio service is described below.

Portfolio Tailoring Service

Progressive Fund Management

How much volatility risk should you
take to counteract inflation?

This portfolio service is designed for return-seeking clients who want to build real value in their investments.

These clients understand the importance of accepting a reasonable level of volatility risk. This helps maintain and increase the long-term purchasing power of their invested capital, balancing ‘risk need’ versus ‘risk want.’

Our Portfolio Tailoring Service is always paired with one of our planning services - either the Wealth Navigating Service or the Wealth Optimising Service - ensuring a comprehensive strategy for every client.
