A little bit about Claudia
I have been a part of the Quilter network for over 8 years and enjoy building and maintaining long-term relationships with my clients and their families. I am focused on building a long-term commitment to my clients to help them reach their objectives.
I enjoy all aspects of family wealth planning, including helping clients create income tax efficiently, Inheritance tax planning, and inter-generational advice.
I am experienced in advising high-net-worth clients on their investments and wider financial planning objectives, including pension provision and more complex tax structuring.
I can also provide advice relating to mortgages, long-term care, and later life options for financial planning. I strive to provide my clients with long-term, quality advice in a way that is easy to understand, clear, and concise.
Outside of work, I enjoy travelling and experiencing different parts of Europe while enjoying good food and wine.

An adviser’s insight
How can you boost your pension pot?
In the UK, there’s an estimated £26.6bn1 in lost or forgotten pensions. That means the average UK worker is missing as much as £28k2 from their retirement money. But there’s good news - this kind of financial hit is completely avoidable.
Here are three simple ways to make sure your pension is working its hardest for you.
1. Check up on it
This one might seem obvious, but it’s easy to lose track of your pension pots, where they are, and what they’re doing. If you make a note of your pension providers, and check your pot(s) regularly, you’re far less likely to lose one of them over time.
2. Look at your investment allocation
Your investment allocation is where and how you’re investing your pension. Often, people will just use their pension provider’s default setting. But this might not actually be right for your retirement goals and risk profile. So, it’s a good idea to revisit this every few years.
3. Bump it up
If you’ve had a windfall recently, like a pay rise, bonus, or inheritance, putting a portion of it into your pension is a good idea. Not only is it tax-efficient, but you’ll be glad when your retirement comes around.
As an adviser, my role is to help you get all of this done simply, with all the facts and information you need. That might be helping you review your risk profile, consolidating old pension pots, or making a plan to help you retire early.
If that sounds good to you, please get in touch.
The value of pensions and the income they produce can fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invested. Tax Planning is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Tax treatment varies according to individual circumstances and is subject to change.
