What is Wealth Management?

Wealth management is more than just investment advice, it encompasses all parts of a person's financial needs.

At Brown Shipley, wealth management is more than just financial planning; it’s a holistic approach to preserving your wealth while aligning your financial decisions with your personal goals. For high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), it’s an essential service that ensures every aspect of your financial life is expertly managed, from investments to legacy planning.

Definition and concept of wealth management

Wealth management is a comprehensive service that combines financial advice, investment management, and flexible lending solutions to meet the needs of affluent clients. Unlike traditional financial planning, it integrates:

  • Investment strategies: Customising portfolios to align with your risk tolerance and objectives.
  • Wealth planning: Structuring your assets to maximise tax efficiency and secure your legacy.
  • Flexible lending solutions: Our loan facilities are designed to blend seamlessly with our other Wealth Management services, to find swift, creative options that are right for you, supporting the delivery of your overall wealth plan.


At its core, wealth management is about providing tailored solutions that address your unique financial circumstances and long-term aspirations.

Core components of wealth management

Our approach at Brown Shipley is built on three core pillars:


1. Strategic wealth planning

Effective wealth planning is the foundation of any successful financial strategy. It involves:

  • Tax-efficient structures: Minimising liabilities through careful planning of income, inheritance, and capital gains taxes.
  • Estate planning: Ensuring your assets are distributed according to your wishes while minimising taxes for your heirs.
  • Succession strategies: Preserving wealth across generations through trusts, or family offices.


2. Investment management

Central to wealth management is a robust investment strategy designed to grow and protect your wealth. Our services include:

  • Portfolio diversification: Reducing risk by spreading investments across asset classes and markets.
  • Risk management: Regularly assessing and adjusting your portfolio to align with changing market conditions.


3. Personal advisory services


We understand that wealth management is deeply personal. That’s why we prioritise:

  • Bespoke solutions: Tailoring strategies to meet your individual goals.
  • Ongoing reviews: Keeping your plan dynamic to adapt to life changes.
  • Trusted relationships: Building partnerships based on transparency and trust.
