Luis Amato APFS

Who do I work with? I work closely with my clients to ensure they are getting the most out of their lives whilst maintaining a comfortable and healthy financial situation. My clients range from those in their younger years looking to balance the demands of life around their finances and those in their later years, ensuring they outlive their money and plan for the next generations. It is important for me to put my clients needs at the heart of everything I do as their financial planner and advise them accordingly as their needs/requirements develop. About me? After spending 9 years at a trading company from the early age of 16, I decided to move into the world of financial planning. This was a natural move for me as I’ve always had an interest in the investment world and having invested from an early age myself, I have seen the

Who do I work with? I work in close partnership with clients, providing in-depth technical analysis of their financial position and how it can be arranged in as efficient a manner possible. In most cases this is centred around an holistic plan that considers a client’s goals, aspirations and objectives and how their finances can be best positioned to meet these over their lifetimes. About me? I have worked in financial services since graduating from university in 2003, initially working for a boutique foreign currency mortgage company before switching focus to financial planning. Over my career I have worked primarily with High Net Worth/Ultra High Net Worth clients in a range of fields from entertainment and sport to medicine and banking. Away from the office I am a keen traveller and cook and in particular a lover of all things Italian.

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

And then a third fabulous boss when I joined HFMC Wealth back in 2006; despite telling

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
