The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) defines Wealth Planning as "a professional service for individuals, their families, and businesses, who need objective assistance in organising their financial affairs to achieve their financial and lifestyle objectives more readily".
For us in Mereo Wealth, Wealth Planning is at the heart of what we do. And what we do best is to help you preserve and protect what is precious for you at all stages of your life and for the generations to come.
Our key characteristics and practices:
1. Client – Centric Approach
We prioritize understanding your unique short-term and long-term financial goals and values and we tailor our advice and recommendations to your specific individual needs, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
2. Holistic Financial Planning
We conduct a holistic assessment of your current financial status considering various aspects of your lives whilst we evaluate your tax status and your risk tolerance to develop a financial strategy that aligns with your goals. By implementing the above, we develop a truly personalized wealth plan which includes recommending specific investment vehicles, asset allocation strategies and ongoing management.
3. Communication and Adaptability
Effective communication is crucial. We communicate regularly with you to keep you up to date with your financial progress and discuss any necessary adjustments. Financial situations change over time, so we regularly review and adjust to ensure that the plan remains relevant and effective in helping you achieve your goals.
4. Transparent and Ethical Practices
Integrity is paramount. We adhere to high ethical standards and prioritize our clients' best interests. We listen to your needs, research for the best solutions out there for you, recommend the appropriate strategy and manage any risks associated.
5. Gathering Talent and Expertise
In some cases, wealth planning involves collaboration with other financial professionals, such as tax experts, estate planning attorneys, or insurance specialists. We are adept at coordinating efforts and working collaboratively with our established platform of associated partners to address all aspects of your financial needs.
6. Empathy and Patience
Preserving the wealth you have accumulated over years of years of hard work and planning for your loved ones’ future wellbeing can be stressful. We approach our work with empathy, patience, and a genuine desire to help you navigate challenges and achieve your financial goals.
By embodying these characteristics and practices, we implement a comprehensive approach to managing finances that goes beyond day-to-day budgeting. It provides a framework for individuals and families to make informed decisions about their wealth, protect their assets, and work towards achieving their long-term financial aspirations.
With Mereo Wealth, you can rest assured that you have your own truly personal ambassador during your wealth planning journey.
