By differing their levels of equity exposure, the multi-asset ranges cater for both investors seeking capital growth and more cautious investors looking to generate income, whilst preserving their capital, whilst the international fixed-income funds cater for investors following an objective-oriented approach. Financial Planning Our Wealth business provides financial planning and wealth management advice services to high-net-worth individuals and families, enabling clients to build, manage and protect their wealth. For non-investment products, the advice is independent ‘whole of market’; for investment products and services, the advice can be either ‘restricted’, whereby the investment service will, if suitable, be one provided by the Group, or independent, where the client requests it or they have complex requirements. The service is advice-driven rather than product-driven, providing clients with a coherent, affordable strategy aimed at achieving their long-term goals. In addition to the financial planning service, the Group works in collaboration with other professional advisers such as solicitors, accountants and wealth managers to help them provide a comprehensive service to their clients.
