Frequently Asked Questions
Private wealth management is a personalised approach to investment management, rather than a generic solution which could be suitable for a number of investors.
There is no set net worth, instead it depends on the nature of your needs. However, investors’ requirements often become more complex the greater their net worth.
A financial adviser helps you to manage your money and achieve your long-term financial goals, while an investment manager constructs and manages your investment portfolio.
An investment manager specialises in investing, so can provide advice across a range of investments, including stocks and shares, bonds and funds.

This information is for educational purposes only and should not be used to make a decision about the suitability or otherwise of a specific investment strategy. No investment is suitable in all cases and if you have any doubts as to an investment’s suitability then you should contact a professional adviser. The value of investments and any income from them can fall, as well as rise, and you may get back less than you invested. Your capital is therefore always at risk. It should be noted that stock market investing is intended for the longer term.
