We are an independent stockbroker and investment manager authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. We are a member of the London Stock Exchange and the Personal Investment Management & Financial Advice Association and we offer a range of investment services to private individuals, trusts, charities, pension funds and corporate clients.
These services include dealing and advisory accounts as well as bespoke discretionary portfolio management and an inheritance tax portfolio service. We also operate a tax efficient Stocks & Shares ISA, together with the junior version for your children or grandchildren, and we can advise beneficiaries on the ISA Additional Permitted Subscription.
We work closely with other professional parties such as solicitors and accountants advising on and managing portfolios on behalf of trustees and attorneys and we provide a comprehensive deceased estate probate service for individuals and the legal profession. We also work alongside pension trustees to help and advise you on investing your SIPP.
We believe that every client is important and we look forward to being of assistance and to working with you to achieve your financial objectives.
What we Offer
Whether you wish to undertake a straightforward one-off transaction, seek our advice on a per stock basis or invest a lump sum for the future via a managed portfolio, you can be assured of a personal service from one of our knowledgeable and experienced investment team.
We understand how important your financial security is and seek to provide recommendations in light of your objectives and attitude to risk. Central to our firm’s investment philosophy is the belief in capital preservation and the importance of dividend income to longer term investment returns.
