Wealth Management vs Financial Guidance

What is wealth management?

Wealth management is a premium tier of financial advice for people with significant assets, typically £250,000 or more to invest. It bundles together investment management, tax planning, estate planning, and often a dedicated relationship manager. In Horsham, wealth managers typically work with clients who have assets well above the local average.

How much does it cost?

Wealth management fees in the UK typically range from 0.5% to 1.5% of assets under management per year. For someone with £500,000 in assets, that's £2,500-£7,500 annually. Some wealth managers also charge performance fees on top. For retirees in Horsham, these ongoing costs can meaningfully reduce the returns working for you.

Do you need wealth management?

If your financial situation is straightforward: a pension, some ISAs, a property, you likely don't need a wealth manager. Delphina's self-service tools and financial coaching can help you build and execute a plan at a fraction of the cost. If you have complex tax situations, multiple income streams, or significant assets to coordinate, a wealth manager may justify the fees.

How Delphina compares

Delphina gives you the tools to manage your own wealth: track your net worth, model retirement scenarios, understand your asset allocation, and build a plan. If you want hand-holding, 1-1 coaching is available. Either way, you're not paying 1% of your assets every year for someone to manage your investments. You keep control and the returns.

Frequently asked questions

How much money do you need for a wealth manager?

Most UK wealth managers set minimums of £250,000 in investable assets, and many private banks start at £1 million or more. Below that, you're unlikely to get their attention, and honestly unlikely to need it: a financial planner, coach, or good self-service tools cover the same ground at a fraction of the cost.

What do wealth managers charge?

Typically 0.5-1.5% of assets under management per year, sometimes with performance fees on top, plus the underlying fund charges. On £500,000 that's £2,500-7,500 annually, every year, regardless of performance. Over a 25-year retirement, those fees compound into a six-figure cost.

Is a wealth manager worth it?

If you have complex needs (multiple income streams, significant tax planning, business assets, estates), the bundled service can justify the fee. If your situation is a pension, some ISAs, and a property, you're mostly paying premium prices for investment management you can get from a low-cost index portfolio.

What is the difference between a wealth manager and a financial adviser?

A financial adviser gives regulated recommendations, usually on specific decisions. A wealth manager bundles ongoing investment management, tax and estate planning, and a dedicated relationship manager into one premium service for larger portfolios. Same regulation, broader (and pricier) scope.
