Fiducia Wealth Management have a true gem with Susie as part of their team

My mother used Fiducia Wealth Management for her financial advice and was extremely satisfied with their service. Seeing first-hand what a sound company they were I was happy invest with them, and have to say am more than satisfied in having Susie Laws acting as my Financial Planner. She is extremely diligent in her work, incredibly efficient (I cannot stress that enough) and, well in short, an absolute delight to work with. Having someone who takes time to understand your needs, provide qualified advice which is genuinely in your best interests as well as always being on hand to answer any queries and to go the extra mile(s) to assist you is not that easy to find. Fiducia Wealth Management have a true gem with Susie as part of their team – it is a privilege to be their client.

Susie has demonstrated a firm understanding of my requirements and I am only too happy to endorse her service skills.

For the past year, Susie has been actively involved in converting my pension investments, currently held in a SSAS, into a SIPP. Throughout the whole process Susie has demonstrated a firm understanding of my requirements and I am only too happy to endorse her service skills.
John Mellanby Managing Director - Essex

My main concern was to appoint someone who places my needs at the centre of their advice rather than their own financial gain. I am very comfortable that Susie and Fiducia do this

Susie has guided me in terms of my pension and personal investments in a very professional way. My main concern was to appoint someone who places my needs at the centre of their advice rather than their own financial gain. I am very comfortable that Susie and Fiducia do this which has encouraged me to put further faith and business in her hands.
Mr Ashton

My thanks to you and the team for your help

You may recall that our affairs were so fragmented that I had to resort to A3 paper in order to be able to read the print out of my spreadsheet. I am pleased to say that I am now back to using A4 paper, so matters are becoming simpler and clearer. My thanks to you and the team for your help with this (and for saving a few more trees).
Fiducia Client

Fiducia are an unfailing helpful and knowledgeable group of people whose investment analysis and advice has helped grow my pension and savings portfolio over the many years I have been privileged to have them as my financial advisers.

Fiducia are an unfailing helpful and knowledgeable group of people whose investment analysis and advice has helped grow my pension and savings portfolio over the many years I have been privileged to have them as my financial advisers. Their careful analysis of my risk profile and their choice of funds for me have increased the value of my portfolio despite the global market upheavals of recent and less recent memory. I find their regular market surveys distributed to clients to have an impressive depth of knowledge. I have no hesitation in recommending their services to friends and family and will continue to do so.

As life expectancy continues to rise, so too do financial requirements in later life shift. Whereas once the average person could expect a retirement lasting ten years or so, now it is not uncommon for people to live for 20, 30 years or more after they finish working.

Planning your finances for later life must take this potential longevity into account. It can often involve a number of complex decisions, making it important to find an adviser who is not only highly qualified and knowledgeable but also someone you can trust and rely on.

At Fiducia Wealth we have extensive experience of helping clients through the process of later life planning.  With our team of award-winning investment specialists and wealth strategists, we can help turn your assets into a long-term source of income to see you through many happy years of retirement.

At the same time, we can help you to make contingency plans to cover the potential costs of long term care without wiping out the estate you wish to leave behind.

Whatever your circumstances, we take the time to understand your needs and to explain your options in plain English, ensuring you are equipped to make the right decisions and feel secure in the knowledge that your later life arrangements are well managed.
