David Rule
Chartered Financial Planner
David began his career in financial services as a paraplanner in 2008 , supporting advisers with the technical and analytical aspects of advising a range of both private and corporate clients before deciding to make the move from paraplanner to adviser in 2013.
After making the switch to an adviser role in 2013 he achieved Chartered Financial Planner status in 2019. Having spent the last 9 years developing his knowledge and ability of helping clients achieve the most from the finances, David continues to work with a range of (typically high net worth) clients from various backgrounds helping them plan for the various stages of their lives including everything from financial protection to pension and retirement planning through to estate planning and anything in between.
As a Chartered Financial Planner his ambition is to continue to provide a lifestyle financial planning service to a growing number of clients, seeking to understand not only their financial circumstances alone but also their goals and ambitions as part of developing a meaningful financial plan to help get them and their families from where they are to where they want to be, both now and in the future. For those looking to review a specific area of their finances for example pension contribution calculations or lifetime allowance advice rather than to develop a full financial plan, a ‘focused’ service is available from him.
As an integral part of the service he provides, David is qualified to advise on a range of areas including pensions, investments, protection, trust and estate planning, inheritance tax planning, long term care, and lifetime mortgages (equity release). He plans to continue his studies, working towards achieving Fellow status.
David joined Accumulate Wealth Management Group in 2021 and is looking forward to working with new and existing clients over the long term. If you have any questions or would simply like to arrange an initial chat to see how he might be able to help, please feel free to contact him on davidrule@accumulatewealth.co.uk
