What do our clients say?

Simon has a knack of making the most complex issues easy to understand.

Having previously worked in the world of financial advice, I believe that everyone should have an adviser. I would be foolish to try and navigate an increasingly complex marketplace on my own. I am extremely lucky to be looked after by Simon. He is not only Independent, he is Chartered. It is this last point that puts Simon among the very best advisers the UK has to offer.

I know that Simon works incredibly hard on my behalf. Simon has a knack of making the most complex issues easy to understand. I know that no matter how my situation might change in the future, Simon will always be able to advise me. In these uncertain times, I find that to be a huge source of comfort.

Russell,
Teacher & former IFA

When picking an IFA, you want to know they are independent, which Simon Wigg very much is. My confidence in Simon extends to recommending him to friends and relatives, several of whom have become very satisfied clients.

Simon tidied everything up and set me on a more sensible path

We first met Simon Wigg in 2008. My finances were in a bit of a mess having employed a number of IFAs. My money was in different “pots” including pensions and life insurances and deposit accounts. Simon tidied everything up and set me on a more sensible path. Since then he has advised me on money for my children and Trusts for my Grand Children. He knows more about my family than anyone else and I trust him.

As an ex-police officer I would never knowingly break the law or seek to evade the eye of HMRC but financial regulations are forever changing and can be complicated for the uninitiated. Simon has kept me informed where I need to take action and warned me not to travel down paths where I should not go.

Much of my communication with him is now by email but we do have the occasional meeting in The City. It is never a problem to get hold of him. I would recommend him as an IFA.

Anyone who works with Simon will find themselves in excellent hands.

I have known Simon Wigg for in excess of 10 years. Our first interaction was when Simon was appointed as a financial advisor to the staff of the firm where I used to work, where he gave individual advice to the employees on all aspects of their personal finances. He also advised the company on the introduction of the Government’s pension auto-enrolment programme which made the whole process smooth and simple for the company.

Latterly both my partner and I have worked with Simon on our own personal finances.

Simon has a very deep knowledge and understanding of all aspects of financial issues and keeps himself well informed of all legislative changes. He also has a very good eye for detail and we rely on his wise and sensible advice when making our financial choices. Whatever our requests may be, Simon always looks at them in great detail and gives us comprehensive advice to help us make our decisions. He also independently contacts us if there is anything he thinks we should be aware of.

Anyone who works with Simon will find themselves in excellent hands. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who needs independent financial advice.

Our Investment Approach

1. Management

We have a range of investment solutions to suit your individual needs, provided on an advisory or discretionary basis. Arriving at a suitable solution takes account of the investment being undertaken, your investment needs, objectives and risk profile.

2. Cohesive Investment Strategy

Like all areas of financial planning, taking a joined up approach provides a firm foundation for reaching good outcomes. Adopting a cohesive investment strategy across your financial arrangements as a whole can be similarly effective.

3. Diversification

Using the full range of asset classes at our disposal allows you to derive the benefits of diversification, reduce certain types of risks or achieve good risk adjusted returns by deploying the right mix of assets at any given time.

4. Sustainability

We integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into our investment solutions to address a wide range of personal values, preferences and beliefs as well as the financial goals you hold.
