Wealth structuring

Once we have a full understanding of your current financial circumstances, our wealth planners can help you structure your wealth in the most effective way to meet your financial goals. This can include managing your assets and financial affairs tax-efficiently to preserve your wealth.

Tax matters

Managing your affairs efficiently

Wealth structuring ensures you’re making full use of all the tax allowances, exemptions and reliefs available to you to preserve more of your wealth for the future.

We will explore tax-efficient investment options, such as ISAs and pensions if you’re based in the UK, and other structures such as offshore bonds, trusts and family investment companies. As an additional benefit, wealth structures can help to enhance financial security and succession planning for you and your family.

Retirement planning

Considering the tax implications is important when planning for success in retirement

  • Building a retirement pot

    UK pensions are a tax-efficient way to invest and save for your retirement as they provide a structured and effective savings vehicle which offers tax benefits.

  • UK pensions in drawdown

    It’s often worth drawing down from your other savings before your pensions, as they usually fall outside of your estate and are therefore exempt from UK inheritance tax. For this reason, they can also play a valuable part in your estate planning. Our wealth planners can help you make the most of your pension options and will also help you structure your wealth as a retiree to ensure you enjoy the long and comfortable retirement you planned for.

Inter-generational wealth planning

How to ensure your loved ones benefit from your wealth

Whether it’s helping your children onto the property ladder or paying for grandchildren’s education. These choices raise questions about how you can pass on your wealth effectively, as early as possible and minimising your inheritance tax burden, where possible. Some options include:

  • Lifetime gifting

    Gifting during your lifetime is the most straightforward way to pass on your wealth, but it can mean a loss of control and protection.

  • Setting up structures

    Structures such as, trusts, family investment companies and family limited partnerships can allow you some control over how a gift is invested and how it should benefit your family.

  • Life insurance

    Whilst not specifically mitigating the inheritance tax burden, life assurance structured in the correct manner can be useful to pay any tax due, protecting more of your wealth for your beneficiaries.
