Saltus Customer Reviews
Based on 500 customer reviews and our expert analysis Expert review by Richard Berry · Last updated 3rd June 2026 Saltus won “Best Wealth Manager” in the 2026 and 2025 Good Money Guide Awards for it’s tailored financial planning and investment services. Saltus stands out in the UK wealth management industry by blending personalised financial planning with a sophisticated investment approach more often found in institutional circles. Founded in 2004, the firm manages over £10 billion in assets and holds Chartered status for its financial planning division, reflecting high standards in advice. Saltus takes a highly personalised route from the outset, matching clients with advisers who align with their goals and communication preferences. Their planning process includes robust cashflow modelling and tax optimisation, resulting in comprehensive strategies that span life planning and investment management. Their investment performance, as independently benchmarked by the ARC Private Client Indices (ARC PCI), is particularly impressive. Saltus has outperformed peers over 3, 5, and 10-year periods across cautious, balanced, growth, and equity risk categories — all while generally taking less risk. For instance, their core Growth strategy delivered an annualised 7.2% return over five years to the end of 2025, compared to 4.6% for the ARC benchmark. Fees are competitive and decline as portfolios grow, with no exit charges and transparent upfront costs, especially for larger portfolios. The ongoing cost for a £1.5m client portfolio in their core investment strategies is around 1.45% (including financial planning), and investment-only clients benefit from reduced charges. Client satisfaction is high, reflected in a 2025 Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 67 (well above the financial services average) and a 97% client retention rate. For context, Apple’s 2025 NPS score was 61 and Amazon’s 47. Bain & Co suggest that a score of 70 or more places a company in the ‘world-class’ category. A good choice for high-net-worth individuals seeking top-tier financial planning and strong, risk-adjusted investment performance. Based on 500 reviews Looking after my money Advice for my retirement financial integrity Communicate clearly without bombarding you with irrelevant communications, advise you wisely and execute diligently. Have guided us through retirement and SIPPs with constant good results and support at every level. Saltus are small but highly specialised. They truly seem to value my business and not have the hierarchical old school baggage of traditional institutions. I chose them for this reason. I get a personal tailored investment experience with a very experienced and dynamic Financial Planner (also a Partner). If I choose I can visit their local office to have face to face meetings, which was super important to me. In addition Communications and App quality, where I can monitor my investments are excellent. I am very pleased and would recommend them to anyone. Solid,sensible, successful. Communication is excellent, dedicated team focused on results Excellent at keeping in touch and responding to questions Emma Wilkinson my investment manager has patiently walked me through all the steps i’ve needed with my money since my father sadly passed away. She has educated me, helped me understand what decisions i’m making and how best to make them with a very clear understanding of my goals. TOP CLASS given how little I knew to start with! Excellent platform providing easy access to performance and transactions. Also provides updates on important issues ie, Pension planning, budget updates, IHT and retirement planning. My wealth manager Lauren provides clear concise information tailored to my needs, Lauren listens to my requirements and concerns and provides a solution focused approach to my investments. The regular updates are very useful. The Saltus app is very user friendly What truly makes Saltus the preeminent choice in wealth management is the way they put the person before the portfolio. While many firms treat financial planning and investing as two separate tasks, Saltus brings them together under one roof, making life much simpler for their clients. They’ve managed to do something rare: combining the “high-tech” of their own market-leading platform with the “high-touch” care of Chartered experts who genuinely listen. By stripping away the usual industry jargon and hidden costs, Saltus offers a level of honesty and clarity that builds real trust. They aren’t just managing assets; they are helping families navigate life’s biggest transitions with confidence, proving that world-class financial expertise can, and should, feel personal. We use Saltus for our retirement planning and our contact Lauren has always been extremely professional, always gives us options for our retirement finances, whilst explaining very clearly. Nothing has ever been too much trouble. They are incredibly well organised and do all of the basics seamlessly well. The investments are managed to achieve strong market returns while reducing risk – just what any investor wants. And best of all, the people are great to deal with. The advice I have received has been exceptional, first class, and I say that having worked in finance for over 40 years. I am very happy to trust this firm and these people with my retirement funds. They have shown a clear understanding of our spending needs following retirement Regularly provides market updates and my wealth manager is always available to provide guidance and support, even if it’s just a general chat about my future planning Always very responsive to my queries and solid returns on my investments. Clear communication on how best to invest Knowledgeable, confidence inspiring Supportive and real world I use Saltus to manage my pension portfolio. They are very personable and professional in their communications and so I feel like a valued client. i appreciate their wealth of knowledge of the industry, and the recommendations that they make to ensure that my pension fund grows in line with the financial markets.
