Introducing Apt’s Comprehensive Financial Planning Services for UK Expats

Published on: September 12th, 2023

Building on the continued success of its Expat Financial Planning Services, Apt Wealth Partners has recently ramped up its specialist service offering for UK expats. 

Integrating existing expat advice business with its lead adviser and UK expert Toby Simpson, the service will support both Australian resident UK expats and Australians who live or have lived in the UK.  

Under the guidance of experienced adviser and Apt’s Head of Expat Financial Planning Services John Versace, the service assists individuals and families to manage their UK assets and ensure they live their best lives – wherever it takes them. The specialty service includes: 

  • UK pension investment solutions 
  • UK pension/QROPS transfer and appropriate superannuation strategies
  • Bespoke financial planning and investment strategies 
  • Asset and investment management 
  • Retirement planning
  • Preparing for relocation or the move home
  • Understanding tax systems and implications in both locations 
  • Protecting and growing assets in a tax-effective way.

“Building on Apt’s success in supporting US and Middle Eastern expats, this service will help thousands of Australian and UK expats. While there are agreements in some areas between the two countries, finances can be challenging to navigate, particularly when it comes to retirement assets, such as pensions. 

“This new service provides the financial planning services and network of professionals to eliminate the complexity and help Apt Clients stay on track with their financial goals.

“We’re excited to welcome Toby to the team,” John said.
