My career as a Financial Adviser took off in 2005, initially working for HSBC in London and Hong Kong. I established my first wealth management business in Hong Kong in 2014 before a restructure led to the sale of the company in late 2018.

I specialise in advising clients I would describe as internationally mobile individuals and families. They may be British or overseas citizens, although a common factor is that they often have a UK connection through their previous, current or future work and tax residency, or the location of some of their assets (typically property or pensions and investments).

As a dual resident of Hong Kong and the UK, I travel frequently between the two to see my clients. As such my area of expertise is cross-border financial planning and multi-currency investment advice.

Qualifications

I’m a keen golfer and a member of my local UK golf club; I have a set of clubs in both HK and UK. I’m also a member of my local squash club, playing to an intermediate standard.

I recently joined the Greenwich Yacht Club being an amateur but enjoy a variety of water sports. When I have time, I particularly enjoy Wakeboarding on Tai Tam reservoir in Hong Kong.

Above everything, however, I am passionate about my family and enjoy creating memories by having adventures in Asia and Europe with them.

Client testimonial

David’s guidance has helped us achieve peace of mind and sleep soundly knowing that our investments are in safe hands.
