Bloomsbury Wealth specialises in the provision of financial planning and wealth management
from our easily accessible office based in the City of London.
Independent.
Our firm is a commercially independent investment management practice under a contract for services with Raymond James Investment Services Ltd (Raymond James) which provides access to a global custody service to safeguard your investments, compliance oversight and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) authorisation.
Focused.
Financial planning, portfolio management and client care are conducted from our City based office. We were among the first CISI Accredited Financial Planning Firms and all of our professional staff hold the internationally recognised Certified Financial Planner™ certification.
Caring.
We will work closely with you to ensure that your financial affairs are structured in the best possible way to enable you to achieve your goals and make informed decisions about your wealth. We love what we do, giving you the freedom to do what you love. If this is how you like to work it’s easy to start a conversation.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
One of the most exciting developments for the firm in 2017 was our acceptance as provisional members of the Global Association of Independent Advisers (GAIA) an association of evidence-based financial planning firms from around the world who have come together to share best practices and to develop further the financial planning profession.
Membership is by invitation only and we were required to undergo a stringent due diligence process before our membership was confirmed. Bloomsbury is one of only three member firms in the UK.
CEFEX Investment Advisor Certification

CEFEX works closely with industry experts to provide comprehensive assessment programs to improve the fiduciary practices of investment stewards, advisers, recordkeepers, administrators and managers. It conducts assessments according to the principles of the international standard ISO/IEC 17021.

Bloomsbury Wealth was certified against the “Prudent Practices for Investment Advisors” standard, which relates to how investment advisory firms assume responsibility for managing a client’s overall investment management process including the selection, monitoring and de-selection of investment managers, and the development of processes to implement investment strategies and fiduciary practices on an ongoing basis.
