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 you approach later life, your ability to accumulate additional wealth dwindles with retirement and the end of paid employment.

A key focus of later life planning is therefore how you mitigate this loss of income and arrange your finances to ensure you can continue to live comfortably.

At Fiducia Wealth, our core area of expertise is maximising wealth through investment planning and asset management. We are therefore perfectly placed to advise on how to make sure the investments and savings you have accumulated over the course of your working life are able to support you through your later years.

Our team of investment advisers, supported by our dedicated in-house investment team, are able to provide you with professional investment advice to help you make the decisions that work best for you.

This may mean focusing on reducing risk in your investments in order to protect the wealth you have already accumulated, or it may mean restructuring your assets to suit your tax position. Alternatively, it could mean refocusing your investment portfolio away from capital growth to instead generate an income.

Whatever your circumstances, our award-winning specialist team will fully explain your options in an accessible way and offer honest, professional advice on the best options for you. We often work alongside other professional advisers, such as your accountant, to provide a truly cohesive financial plan.

Our proven process involves:

Identifying your goals

The starting point for all of our financial planning is asking our clients what they want to achieve. Having clear objectives for your future is important.

Determining an appropriate level of risk

Risk is the all-important factor in investment management. Greater rewards inevitably come with greater risks, so it is always critical to balance the expectations of gain from investments with the need to protect existing assets. Our starting point is your attitude to risk, then what you want to achieve with your money, then the level of losses you could comfortably absorb.

Deciding where to put your money

There are dozens of potential investment vehicles out there, all with their own advantages and drawbacks. Once we have assessed the right level of risk for your ultimate objectives, we can advise you on the best options for investing your wealth.

Reducing tax liabilities

When you no longer have an income from paid employment, one thing you don’t want is your wealth leaking away in unnecessary tax payments. We can advise on how to structure your finances so you pay no more tax than you need to.
