Caroline Maxwell

Who do I work with? Working in financial services for over 25 years, I have gained a wealth of experience with both individual high net worth and ultra high net worth clients, on both a domestic and multi jurisdictional level. I’m in a fortunate position that I have worked with many clients from a range of backgrounds for several years running into decades and as such have a detailed understanding of them and their wider family which change as life evolves. We discuss clients’ goals, provide a thorough structured plan to achieve these goals and navigate the changes and challenges along the way, be this change of job role or country, transitioning from working life to financial independence, providing for children and the wider family, all with an overlay of being mindful of tax positions. This allows clients to then focus on their life and what they enjoy, secure in

Who do I work with? My typical clients are looking to build towards their retirement or, if already in retirement, looking to preserve their lifestyle and make their money work for them. Thus, I specialise in investment planning, pre- and post-retirement planning and inheritance tax planning; whilst aiming to meet any specific life objectives along the way. I take an analytical approach to providing advice. My aim is to become a long-term trusted adviser for all my clients and their families, focussing on the bigger picture to meet their needs whilst taking the “pain” of financial planning minutiae off their plates. About me? I graduated from Exeter University in 1997 and have worked in Financial Services ever since. I have always worked for independent financial adviser firms, something I feel is important when providing advice. I joined HFMC Wealth in 2014, where the client focussed, family friendly and professional culture

Who do I work with? With many years of experience in international financial planning, clients who seek my advice are typically non domiciled or have an international dimension to their lives. I provide private clients and families with a framework for their wealth that is portable and tax efficient across jurisdictions. In addition to providing long-term wealth management solutions, I have an expertise in international pension plans. About me Many years of working in international private banking has provided a solid base for my knowledge of residency and domicile, offshore pensions, trusts and estate planning. Collaborating with leading international tax lawyers enables me to coordinate my advice with legal and tax considerations in different jurisdictions. I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to contribute to the success of HFMC Wealth’s International proposition and while knowledge and experience have provided a necessary foundation for this, I believe that getting to

Who do I work with? I work with a wide variety of people and families, all of whom are connected by a common thread of wanting to take control of their financial lives by reaching financial independence. Whether that be a young family wanting to protect and build their financial future, those approaching retirement and even those in the later stages of their life needing care. It is sometimes all too easy to get lost in the technical nature of finance, whether it be minimising tax, getting the best investment return or just understanding what a pension actually is! I work with my clients to take things back to basics, focusing on what is important in their lives and using that as the guiding compass for creating a financial strategy with the sole aim of helping them achieve the things that mean the most to them. My relationships involve an

Who do I work with? Focussing on holistic advice to high net worth individuals to help you and your family reach lifetime goals; encouraging engagement and implementing sound achievable financial plans that best make use of the tax and investment avenues available to you. It all starts with you and what do you want? About me? After Physics with Space Science at Uni I joined a pension company. They gave me a project that turned into a department and a team of 6 to run and were really supportive. Then I passed the financial advisor exams and moved to London with my wife to start as an Advisor in 2000. That new company encouraged me for 6 great years and I realised how lucky I was to get 2 brilliant bosses on the run. And then a third fabulous boss when I joined HFMC Wealth back in 2006; despite telling

Who do I work with? My clients are diverse and range from young professionals, to those looking to manage their wealth for retirement. There are also those clients who have experienced various life events, such as divorce or a death in the family, which of course can be overwhelming for the individuals and significantly affect their financial plans. About me? My belief was I shouldn’t go to university unless I knew exactly what I want to do for my career and it required a degree as I was eager to begin adult life and didn’t want the added student tax burden. Therefore, I finished college in 2010 and started work in hospitality to get me going whilst I worked out what I really wanted to do for the rest of my life! After buying my first property three years later, I had realised my passion for personal finance should be

I joined Nat West Group in 1978, moved “in group” to Coutts in 1996 and after all banks opted to provide advice tied to their own products, I joined HFMC Wealth in 2021 to ensure that my clients receive independent and totally impartial advice. Away from the office I enjoy music, football, travelling but most importantly of all – my family and it’s four generations.
