Louise Shepherd APFS

Who do I work with? I have worked in the financial services industry for over 10 years, providing bespoke financial planning and wealth management services to individuals and families from all different backgrounds. I work in partnership with my clients to provide clarity and peace of mind, empowering them to be confident in their financial decisions both now and for the future.

Who do I work with? I work in close partnership with my clients. I advise wealthy clients from all walks and stages of life. My clients recognise the need for advice over their wealth, to protect and grow their wealth for the benefit of them and their family. I am fortunate to have worked with the same clients for two decades and whom have been clients of the firm, in some cases since the 1980’s. About me? Married with two children, I graduated in 1997 and entered financial services in late 1999. I have worked at a large national firm along with boutique wealth management firms and have advised a wide range of clients from those starting out, to those who have retired. Time away from work is spent enjoying life with my family and when time and my body allows, playing football and tennis.

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? Financially successful people who see the value in delegating. If you are like many financially successful people then time will be at a premium. Me and my team of experts will help you to get your entire financial house in perfect order removing the stress and legwork involved. We will take on board your most important priorities and goals and ensure that you are on track to achieving them. About me? I have dedicated my entire career, over 40 years now, to helping people navigate the financial world. I hate jargon, pompous financial professionals and unnecessary complexity. My father was a highly successful financial planner back when most people didn’t even know there was such a thing. Growing up in a financially literate household and being exposed to some of his amazing and inspirational clients ensured I would follow in his footsteps. More recently I

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? I predominantly advise legal professionals – High Court Judges, Silks and Partners in the leading law firms but I also advise several entrepreneurs. About me? 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.
