Our verdict

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.

Summary

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.
