You’ll have direct contact with your Investment Manager, so you can speak to the person responsible for your investment portfolio.

With offices throughout the UK, you can choose an Investment Manager that’s nearest to you. You’ll have regular contact in person, over the phone or through our secure client portal.

Frequently asked questions

The best way for us to understand what investment service is the most suitable for you is through an initial conversation, which can be in person at one of our offices or another place to suit you, or through a video or phone call. We can understand your goals and how involved you would like to be with your investments.

Compare our investment services

In the first instance, we’ll arrange a conversation, which can be in person at one of our offices or another place to suit you, or through a video or phone call. This meeting will give you a chance to tell us about your situation and what you’re looking to achieve. We’ll be able to tell you a bit more about how we can help, and you’ll also have the opportunity to ask us any questions you may have. There’s no charge for this first step.

In the first meeting we discuss your ambitions, concerns and attitudes to risk. We’ll ask you about your relationship with money, your spending and what your long-term goals are. The conversation will then turn to your investments and developing an investment strategy. We’ll discuss your investment preferences to find out whether there are any ESG factors or ethical considerations as well as ask you about your investment timescales and any capital gains tax requirements.

We compile all of the information we have gathered and design a bespoke investment strategy to meet your objectives. We look objectively at your plans, applying a long-term view to provide a solution that works for you as priorities change. Once we have understood your requirements, we suggest an appropriate approach, style, exclusions and inclusions. Continuous monitoring ensures we keep your investments focused on achieving your financial objectives.
