Summer 2024

According to research1, 81% of the UK’s wealthiest individuals are ‘stressed’ about their finances, suggesting financial wellbeing is about more than just the totality of your wealth. So, virtually everyone has concerns about what their financial future will look like.

Planning for the future. The prime concerns for individuals centred around future planning and retirement, specifically maintaining a comparable lifestyle in later life (51%), the value of their investments (39%), providing for future generations (25%), the tax burden (24%) and falling victim to fraud (22%). Interestingly, almost three in five wealthy individuals (59%) in the UK are considering relocating overseas, to enjoy what they regard to be an improved standard of living (36%), lower property costs (28%) and a more favourable tax regime (21%).

The importance of financial wellbeing. Financial wellbeing is more than just having large sums of money. It’s a state of feeling secure and in control of your finances, both now and in the
future. According to the Global Financial Wellbeing Report 20242, across all the countries surveyed, people’s top goal is to ‘feel secure’ (94%), noting that people who feel financially confident are ‘two times more likely to have goals, ambitions and dreams for their life.’

Finding your purpose. While money can’t buy you happiness, as the saying goes, it can give you security and freedom. But to get there, you need to have a plan. A good starting point is to work out what’s most important to you and what you want to achieve. Wealth has the capacity to create a powerful purpose within our lives, provided we are able to unlock its true value by understanding your ‘why’. Once you’ve established this, you can create a plan unique to you that you can work towards with purpose.
