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
When is the right time to invest?
There’s always a degree of uncertainty when it comes to investing, so it’s natural for some people to feel nervous about it.
When the news is reporting stock market volatility, it’s understandable that some people might feel more cautious about investing. But including investments in your long-term financial plan is a smart way to give your money the best chance to grow.
Keeping money in cash might feel like a safe option, and having some money easily available is a sensible decision. But too much cash could end up costing you more because of inflation’s ability to eat away at the value of your savings. For example, when £10,000 is invested it can grow by 78% over 30 years, but if it was kept in a current account its value could actually reduce by 59%*.
There are lots of options when it comes to investing, and I’m here to guide you through them. I can help you decide things like which risk level is right for you, what types of investments to use to maximise your tax efficiency, and how to create an investment plan tailored to your circumstances and goals. I can also show you how different investment approaches could impact your finances over the long term.
If you’re thinking about how investing today can help create the life you want in the future, let’s talk about how I can support and guide you through the process.
The value of investments and the income they produce can fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invested.
