I manage multi-asset portfolios and provide broader financial planning advice as part of our Wealth Planning service to a range of high net worth families, trusts and charities. Focusing on each client's unique situation I assist with portfolio construction, asset allocation and investment management, as well as considering relevant holding structures and tax efficient solutions for working towards pre-agreed long term goals. With families, this can often include strategies for ensuring that assets pass effectively and tax efficiently between generations over time.

I also look after other not-for-profit organisations, corporate clients and pension funds. By gaining a thorough understanding of each client's needs I can advise on and tailor a portfolio to meet these requirements.
