Halvorsen & Reid

Financial planning, investment advice and portfolio management for individuals and families — with secure account access in one app.

  • Partner-led advice
  • Written recommendations
  • Secure client app

What the partnership does

Financial planning

We build a plan around the decisions actually in front of you: when work becomes optional, what a move or a school costs, how income is drawn and in which order. You receive it written down, not summarised on a call.

Investment advice

An asset allocation chosen for your horizon and your tolerance for a bad year, with the reasoning set out in plain English — what we hold, why we hold it, and what would make us change our minds.

Portfolio management

Ongoing oversight of the portfolio: drift from target weightings, rebalancing, the total cost of what you own, and a periodic review against the plan rather than against the headlines.

Secure document exchange

Statements, valuations, plan documents and signed paperwork move through an encrypted channel in the app — not as email attachments, and not as paper left in a pile.

Client account access

Holdings, contributions, recent correspondence and every plan we have written for you, readable on a phone between reviews, so nothing has to wait for the next meeting.

How clients engage us

Three ways of working, each beginning with the same introductory conversation.

Financial Plan

A one-off, written plan covering income, savings, protection and the timing of the decisions ahead.

  • Discovery meeting with a partner
  • Cash-flow model of your circumstances
  • Written plan with recommendations
  • Review session to work through it
Most requested

Investment Advice

A reviewed allocation for existing holdings or new capital, with the rationale documented.

  • Review of current holdings and costs
  • Proposed allocation and rationale
  • Implementation plan in writing
  • Access to documents in the app

Ongoing Management

Continuing responsibility for the portfolio and the plan, with scheduled reviews through the year.

  • Monitoring and rebalancing
  • Scheduled plan reviews
  • A named partner as your contact
  • Valuations and papers in the app

Scope and fees are confirmed in writing before any work begins.

How working with us goes

  1. Introductory conversation

    You tell us what prompted the enquiry and what you want to be true in five or ten years. We tell you plainly whether this is work we should take on.

  2. Discovery and documents

    We agree the scope in writing, then collect statements, policies and pension paperwork through the secure channel in the app. Nothing sensitive travels by email.

  3. Written recommendations

    A partner presents the plan or the proposed allocation in full, with the assumptions visible. You keep the document whether or not you proceed.

  4. Implementation and review

    We put the agreed steps in place, then return to them on a set schedule — adjusting for what has changed in your life rather than in the market's mood.

Request a consultation

Leave your name and email and a partner will arrange an introductory conversation.

  • A partner reads every enquiry — there is no call centre between you and us.
  • We reply by email to arrange a first conversation at a time that suits you.
  • Nothing is needed from you at this stage: no statements, no paperwork.

Begin with a conversation, not a commitment

The first meeting is for deciding whether we are the right practice for you.
