Who We Help 460x280 1

Total Wealth Management Service

Tanager’s financial advisors are experts in helping transatlantic households understand and plan their financial lives. With knowledge of US and UK pensions, tax efficient investments, trusts, education and retirement planning we are well equipped to help you understand and meet your financial goals.

Regulation

We are regulated by both the US SEC and the UK FCA, which means we can advise on and manage your finances on both sides of the Atlantic. You can view our listing with the SEC here and the FCA here. We have a clear fee structure that covers all costs.

How our Charges Work

We will always break our services down and explain how we charge our fees.
We charge fees based on the investable assets we advise on and manage.  A minimum annual fee applies for smaller portfolios. We charge you for our financial planning, advice and intermediation services alongside our discretionary investment management service which is also subject to VAT for UK residents.

Total Wealth Management Service

Getting to know you

Our service provides an initial financial plan which includes a fact find and risk profile together with a review of your existing financial situation. The plan will include recommendations in respect of custody, your accounts and an investment portfolio. Once a new client agrees to our recommendations, we help with new account applications and transfer assets before agreeing a completion strategy to move existing holdings to the new recommended investment plan.

Ongoing management

At this point we start managing your investments on a discretionary basis. This means that Tanager is given permission to manage the day-to-day strategy of your investment portfolios. Thereafter, we provide periodic reviews, typically annual unless otherwise agreed, and continue to monitor changes to UK and US taxes and investments that may affect our clients. Advisory relationships are available by separate negotiation.

A dedicated team

You will have your own personal financial advisor.  That advisor is backed up by our support teams: our Financial Planning Team will assist with your plan, our Investment Team monitors your portfolio and our Client Service Team will assist with account opening, transfers and ad hoc requests.

Our advisors are always available whenever you have a question.

Ongoing reporting and cash management

We provide our clients with US and UK tax reporting to help professional tax advisors meet your US and UK tax compliance requirements. Our client portal provides up to date consolidated portfolio reporting together with transaction and holding data across both US and UK accounts and wrappers.

Our Client Service Team provides valuable assistance helping our clients with domestic and international fund transfers, often saving our clients time and money.

We charge a minimum fee of $6,500 per annum. Families with less than $500,000 may wish to work directly with a specialist tax advisor to ensure they are reporting their taxes correctly before considering making investments.
