Michael Ian Ridsdill Smith
DipPFS
After a short service commission in the Royal Engineers, I developed significant skills and experience in sales and trading in the emerging financial equity markets of Asia, and I finally left the city in 2019 after a fantastic career of nearly three decades. After achieving CAS status in December 2020, from a successful first year with St. James's Place, I was inspired to launch my own niche Practice, Life Wealth Management Ltd, to introduce a small group of valued clients to the benefits of real Lifestyle Financial Planning.
About
After a long career in the international financial markets I qualified and become an adviser with Fredrick Charles Wealth Management. I am now excited to be running my own financial planning consultancy. I will introduce my clients to real Lifestyle Financial Planning with the aim to grow their assets for the long-term, whilst helping them to articulate a vision of their target 'number'.
Additionally, I will continue to support and grow the small business relationships I have already secured, to provide a range of services to help protect their investments and their employees. My overriding passion going forward is to grow a bespoke and niche group of individual clients and SME owner, all of whom should have a clear interest in a long-term holistic plan to find financial independence, peace of mind and security.
