Financial Planning & Wealth Strategies for Individuals and Families

Yellowtail are the trusted financial planners for UK-based individuals & families​ that provide the clarity, control and confidence to guide you towards a prosperous retirement and financial peace of mind.

What is financial planning?

Financial planning is the strategic process of assessing an individual’s financial goals, resources, and circumstances. At Yellowtail, we help our clients devise a roadmap to achieve those goals through effective management of income, expenses, investments, and assets.

What is a financial planner and what do they do?

A financial planner (not to be confused with a financial adviser) creates comprehensive financial plans tailored to individual goals, while a financial adviser focuses on implementing investment strategies and managing assets according to the established plan.

FAQs.

We appreciate that if you have not previously used a financial planner, you may have several questions about the process and costs. Here we answer the most frequently asked questions by individuals who become our valued clients.

Get in touch
How much wealth do I need for your service? 

It’s not necessarily about the level of assets you have, you may benefit from financial planning if you haven’t yet built up a high level of savings and investments, but where you have a high income instead and want to make the right choices for the future. 

Do I need to involve my partner in the financial planning process? 

Yes. The potential for financial harm that can be created by not involving your partner can be understated, I even wrote a book about it “Who Will It Hurt When I Die” by Dennis Hall 

How long does the process typically take? 

There’s no set timescale for financial planning. Often there are delays whilst we await financial information from you or your existing providers. In an ideal world we would expect to complete our work in 6 – 8 weeks, but more complex situations can take longer.  

How much information do I need to disclose? 

To paraphrase Aristotle, you get out what you put in. The more information you can give us the better the resulting financial plan. However, we don’t expect you to have everything to hand straight away and we will support and guide you in finding the information we need. 

Can I move my portfolio from another provider to Yellowtail? 

If at the end of the financial planning process we both agree that there would be a benefit to continuing the relationship you may choose to move your investments under our care. Part of our planning will determine whether this is in your best interests, and we’ll let you know the pros and cons.  

How does your pricing work?

Clarity and value are at the heart of our pricing. Recognising that our clients have diverse needs and aspirations, we tailor our pricing to your individual financial needs.
