Holistic Resource Allocation

Our approach ensures that all your capital is purposefully deployed, maximising efficiency across both spending and gifting goals. Every decision is aligned with your long-term vision.

Flexible Gifting Integration

We offer adaptable strategies that integrate gifting into your financial plans seamlessly, whether as part of your spending portfolio or as standalone objectives. This flexibility ensures your giving is both impactful and sustainable.

Intergenerational Risk Sharing

Our innovative ‘joint venture’ concept aligns family interests across generations, allowing you to share risk and rewards in a way that benefits everyone.

Beneficiary-Centric Bequest Management

Acting as a prudent trustee, we help you manage dedicated legacy portfolios, ensuring long-term value for your beneficiaries while preserving your legacy.

Intergenerational Wealth Security

At Fowler Drew, we understand that true satisfaction often comes from supporting loved ones. Beyond securing your personal needs and aspirations, many clients find joy in empowering their families. Legacy planning transforms your wealth into a lasting resource for future generations.

Planning starts with identifying your own spending goals. Once these are clearly defined, we help you determine how much of your capital can be allocated to gifting or bequests, ensuring both spending and giving bring maximum satisfaction.

How Fowler Drew Supports Your Gifting Aspirations

A Joint Venture with the Next Generation

When surplus wealth hasn’t yet been identified, we introduce the concept of a ‘joint venture’ with your children and grandchildren. This approach rewards your personal risk-taking while sharing the benefits of long-term investment.

A Dedicated Bequest Portfolio

For clearly identified surplus wealth, we create a separate portfolio designed specifically for legacy goals. Acting as a prudent trustee, you can customise this portfolio to meet the unique needs of your beneficiaries while preserving the integrity of your legacy.

Goal-Based Planning

Our Approach
1

Comprehensive Goal Setting

Your financial journey should reflect your values, ambitions, and the people who matter most to you. Imagine the benefits you want your money to provide at every stage of life—whether it's securing a comfortable retirement, funding your children's education, or supporting causes close to your heart. Our team of experts, supported by our advanced systems, helps you transform these aspirations into clearly defined goals.

Using sophisticated probabilistic modelling, we identify the optimal combination of resources, time, risk, and outcomes that will bring you the greatest satisfaction. This isn't about us deciding what's "suitable" for you; it's a collaborative process where you explore the consequences of different scenarios and express your preferences.

Once these variables are tailored to your unique needs, they guide the design and management of your goal-based portfolios.

2

Customised Investment Implementation

We establish a cost-effective network of third-party custody and dealing arrangements tailored to each individual contributing to your financial goals. Whether it's pensions, ISAs, JISAs or trusts, we ensure that all resources are strategically aligned.

3

Continuous Portfolio Management

As life unfolds and your personal circumstances evolve, so too should your investment portfolio. We understand that changing goal horizons and ambitions require a dynamic approach to ensure your financial plans remain on track. This is why we embrace Controlled Outcomes Investing—a process that transforms investment management into an ongoing journey of financial planning.
