An adviser’s insight
Aim to maximise your cash savings
It might shock you to know that 28% of people hold their cash in interest-free savings accounts(1), receiving no return on their hard-earned money. Because under current rules a basic rate taxpayer can earn up to £1,000 in interest from their savings without paying tax, these people could be missing out on a significant financial boost that they could be enjoying.
This is even more relevant when you consider that the average person typically holds up to 25% of their available money on cash deposit(2). So, by reviewing your cash and tackling any ‘lazy money’, you’ll be making a great start at getting your finances in shape and achieving longer-term financial security.
If your money isn’t working as hard as it could, I can help. By making it easy to access potentially better interest rates, I can help you to aim to maximise your cash savings – giving you more money to spend on the things you enjoy or helping you grow your money towards a longer-term goal.

More about me
I have long had an interest in investment markets, and joined the private client team of a London stockbroking firm straight from university in 1986. Until 2012 I worked for firms that we now think of as Discretionary Fund Managers (DFMs) that are the modern incarnation of private client advisers.
From 2013 to 2017 I consulted to FCA-regulated firms helping on bespoke projects. From late 2017 I retrained as a Financial Planner so as to widen my prior DFM experience. I now mainly advise on pension planning, investment management and protection (insurance) needs.
