About me:
Since 2007, I have been advising founders, executives and families how to manage capital effectively. Sometimes the best solution is the simple one; other times a more sophisticated or esoteric solution may be required.
I have worked with those who have £10m, and I have worked with billionaires. I have worked with clients where the clear solution was simple low-cost EFT portfolio and I have worked with clients seeking access to duration hedging, volatility selling and single stock risk management - and everything in between. I try to listen very thoughtfully and to be led by what you actually need and what actually makes sense.
People speak to me for a variety of reasons, but here are some common issues that get them started:
1. They have a lot of cash and feel this should be put to work productively. However, they also worry about how to pick the right advisor and what to do with their money
2. Some feel the Wealth Management industry doesn't add value, and charges fees for returns they could achieve on their own. They are sometimes struggling to understand the difference between product and advice.
3. Moving into a different wealth bracket means access to more a solutions. But more options can be a source of confusion. Sometimes people want to stick with what they have, and sometimes they are wondering what the smart money is doing.
My approach is not for everyone: I will challenge you where appropriate and be candid if I am not the solution to your problem. I would rather politely decline than risk doing a poor job, and I can usually point you in the direction of someone who might be a better fit.
Professionally, I am Charted Fellow of the Charted Institute for Securities and Investments (CISI) and a two-time winner of the PAM Top 40 under 40 award in Wealth Management
Outside of work, I am a techie, a serial hobbyist and believe strongly in supporting talent from less privileged backgrounds. I am a husband and father to three boys and live in the country.
