Our intergenerational wealth management services focus on how families can use their collective wealth to support each other throughout their lives rather than simply passing it on after death. With longer life expectancies and social changes, families are rethinking how to make their wealth work for everyone. This approach includes options like intergenerational insurance to protect the entire family, helping loved ones onto the property ladder, investing early for children’s futures, and safeguarding wealth from factors like Inheritance Tax for future generations. #FuturePlanning #FinancialPlanning #InvestmentPlanning

With the government’s Budget coming up on 30 October, there’s a lot of speculation about potential tax changes, but nothing is confirmed yet. Labour has committed to some key changes, like charging VAT on private schools and increasing stamp duty for non-UK residents. However, taxes for “working people” are unlikely to rise. There’s speculation around Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax, and pensions, so it’s essential to stay informed. For now, it’s a good time to review your financial plans with your adviser to make sure you’re prepared for any changes! #FinancialAdvice #FuturePlanning #MoneyMatters

Why Should I Save? 🏦 Saving is essential for short-term security, while investing helps grow wealth over the long term. Instant access savings provide a financial cushion for emergencies, with experts recommending 3-6 months' salary saved. However, if you’re looking to meet long-term goals like retirement, investing in stocks or bonds offers greater growth potential but comes with higher risk. Diversification and financial advice can help strike the right balance between saving and investing, ensuring both immediate resilience and long-term confidence.

It's no secret that an increasing number of younger people are struggling to enter the housing market. 🏠 As a result, an increasing number of parents and grandparents are stepping in to help children onto the housing ladder. 🪜 There are several ways to do this; gifting, loans and providing security to mortgage providers are all worth consideration, and many of these solutions have the dual advantage of helping with effective estate planning. 🔑 However, you should seek advice when considering which option to take to ensure that this act of generosity does not result in unexpected tax liabilities.

You might have heard the terms 'savings' and 'investments' used interchangeably; however, they are different. Whilst both are ways of setting money aside for your future, cash savings are ideal for a rainy-day fund or a short-term goal. Investments are for the long term and will require more risk. Striking the right balance between saving and investing is at the heart of a well-balanced financial plan. Read our recent article to find out more!

Without good advice and careful planning, HM Revenue and Customs could be the biggest single beneficiary when you die.  Inheritance Tax (IHT) has an increasingly broad reach. Its impact on a modest estate can be dramatic, and on a large estate, it can be huge. However, there are various ways you can make the best of Inheritance Tax:  ✔️ Have your Will written and planned correctly to save the maximum amount of tax*  ✔️ Transfer assets through prudent use of lifetime gifts  ✔️ Create a tax-efficient fund so that your beneficiaries can pay any taxes due without dipping into their inheritance.

You may get back less than the amount initially invested. ]
