Rathbones Reserve for

Families

Family life is complex. Structures need to adjust as children leave home and have families of their own. Relationships change over time. Divorce requires new strategies on both sides.

Every family is different, which is why we provide an individual level of service covering all aspects of your wealth. Our team is experienced in curating succession planning, wealth preservation and other family goals.

We will evaluate the performance of your wealth as a whole and at individual portfolio level. An independent perspective can enhance the structuring of wealth and improve asset and liability management. We can help you create an overview of your assets, apply integrated strategies and harmonise interests within the family.

Entrepreneurs

Managing wealth where business and personal interests overlap presents particular challenges. We can help you prepare your financial structures ahead of a business sale and then assist you in the transition from wealth creation to preservation. For example, as you move from business owner to investor, we will recommend asset allocations to match your changing priorities and source the best investment strategy for your objectives.
 
Selling your business requires planning to make the most of the opportunities available. We will work with your advisers to make sure your tax planning, wealth structuring and investment strategies are robust and integrated.
 
We can help you turn the success of your business into financial security for your family, philanthropic involvement and your next project.

Senior corporate executives

Our advice can help you realise the rewards of a successful career.

Taking control of retirement planning is a common goal, especially for executives who have multiple pension plans. Our understanding of the changing rules and regulations affecting company and personal pensions, together with effective tax planning, can help protect your benefits.

We can review your investment strategy, optimise asset allocation and take care of portfolio management for you. Our lending services include the use of portfolios to access liquidity when you need it.

We understand how financial priorities can change as you near retirement. With our perspective on the whole of your wealth, we can help you get organised for the next stage of your life. The timing and structure of disposals is crucial; we can provide the right advice at the right time.

Professionals

When you’re busy dealing with the financial and legal priorities of others, you can easily neglect your own. Our team of financial planners and investment professionals will help you take care of your personal finances through advice and expert support.

Our familiarity with industry compensation models means we can advise you on how to optimise your retirement planning and tax position. We have the global research to help you stay on top of investment trends across different markets. We can also monitor the application of any investment restrictions that your investment managers should comply with.

Resident non-domiciled investors

Our investment professionals and financial planners are fully trained in the UK’s resident non-domiciled regulations. By gaining a complete picture of your wealth, we can make sure asset allocation is appropriate and tax plans are appropriate.

This requires a professional institutional approach based not just on investment expertise but high-quality reporting and administration. Our team of Jersey based experts and UK based investment managers are experienced in running portfolios for the underlying clients of Trust companies. They can be relied upon to follow the demanding requirements of international tax rules.
