Making your assets
work for you...
Often, clients looking at managing wealth will be retired and looking to generate an income from their investments. Others will be considering retirement, assessing whether they have sufficient financial resource to retire, whether they can afford to finish work early, perhaps taking voluntary redundancy.
Regular review meetings and ongoing advice will ensure that savings and investments continue to be suitable, that good use is being made of any available reliefs and allowances and where appropriate will allow consideration to be given to what retirement options are available, how to structure retirement benefits, including whether to take the maximum tax free cash and how this impacts upon pension income.
So what next?
While making your assets work for you it is important to review your position regularly and to receive high quality, ongoing independent advice from a trusted financial professional.Get in touch to find out more about how Springfield Financial Services can help you.

What is Wealth Management?
Wealth management has a broad remit that involves a mixture of professional financial planning and financial advice. Springfield Financial provides professional wealth management consulting services to assist high-net-worth individuals or those with significant and complex assets.
Wealth management goals might include growing wealth with the use of investment, saving wealth for later life and retirement, or preparing wealth for inheritance.
Tax planning is also intrinsic to wealth management - we will assist you in making strategic tax-efficient choices to manage your wealth for the present and future. We possess in-depth knowledge and experience of all wealth management strategies and can build wealth management plans to suit individual circumstances.
Springfield Financial are proud of our Chartered Financial Planner status, as awarded by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) and always strive to go above and beyond what is required for our clients.
Take Control of Your Finances
Managing personal wealth with the assistance of professional financial planners provides a wealth uplift in later life. Research by the International Longevity Centre found that financial advice provides a £47,000 wealth uplift in ‘affluent’ groups.
Wealth management does not just benefit the individual, but also their family and the beneficiaries of their wealth after they pass away. Having a coherent strategy in place provides peace of mind of how one’s wealth can be properly distributed throughout life, ensuring that the right sums are present at the right times.
Proper wealth management also helps finance important life milestones and investments, whether that’s moving or migrating, acquiring a business or other significant asset, or investing in stocks, shares, funds, property or other investment types or high-value items.

How to Deal With Sudden Wealth
Managing your wealth can be an arduous and risky task without the correct professional guidance, particularly when managing sudden wealth associated with inheritance, the sale of a business, a successful investment, the proceeds of sale from an estate or even a lottery win.
Whilst the concept of sudden wealth is likely an appealing one to most people, it’s notoriously difficult to manage large incoming sums and the various tax regulations that precede high short-term income.
Springfield Financial will assist you in managing your sudden wealth to ensure that you are complying with tax law efficiently whilst advising on potential strategies to maximise or preserve that wealth for the long term.
