About Us
London Private Wealth Ltd
Since we established LPW in 2001, the business has evolved to become "the complete" private wealth manager. We embarked on our journey with a lot of academic knowledge but no practical experience of applying it to the real world. This has meant that the needs of our clients have been the major influencing factor guiding us to where we are today.
London Private Wealth became part of the Clifton Wealth Partnership in February 2025.
London based, we have always been in and amongst the hustle and bustle of one of the world's major financial centres. It uniquely places us at the centre of all the issues and trends influencing markets, our clients' portfolios and the financial advice they need.
Our passions are wealth management and financial advice for private clients, and our investment strategy and portfolio construction skills differentiate us from competitors. This combination of passion and intellect translates into a successful business and satisfied clients.
