What is wealth management?

The goal of wealth management is to help you meet your financial objectives and achieve financial security. Many families and entrepreneurs aim to preserve and grow their wealth, in order to pass something on to future generations.

A wealth manager – or Client Adviser – is a professional who provides regulated financial advice to help you make informed investment decisions.

Is it worth paying a wealth manager?

Wealth managers charge a fee for their services, and overall charges will take into account the size of the portfolio and the number of transactions carried out.

While there is a cost to paying a wealth manager, their professional advice allows clients to make informed decisions about their wealth and often generates higher returns than going it alone. Our clients often use their Client Advisers as a sounding board for broader financial matters, and provide access to our network of professional advisers and experts.

How much money do you need for a wealth management account?

The minimum amount of money required to use a wealth management company can vary significantly depending on the provider and the level of service offered. Some wealth managers are restricted to only the wealthiest individuals while others have lesser requirements.

The best way to find out if you are eligible to use a wealth manager is to contact the firm with details of your financial situation to see if you fit the criteria. Contact us if you would like more information.

Why might I need wealth management?

You may need a wealth manager if you have just sold a business, received inheritance or are simply worried about the effect of inflation on your money, wealth management can help you preserve and grow your wealth over the long term.

How should I choose a wealth manager?

Choosing a wealth manager is a crucial decision and one you should take time to think over thoroughly. You should seek a wealth manager which has an investment approach that matches your own and a track record of success. You can find out more in this article.

How should I invest my money?

There are multiple factors you should consider when deciding where to invest your wealth. Find an investment style that suits your outlook, considering both ‘top-down’ or ‘bottom-up’ investing strategies, and assess whether you are an active or passive investor.
