Finding an Advisor You Can Trust for Your Financial Journey
Over the last 20 years, I’ve come across 3 types of people looking for financial advice:
- Those in their 40s, 50s or 60s who want to know the date they can safely retire with enough money to live on for their lifetime. Without the worry of it running out.
- People who have property or businesses they wish to sell and use the proceeds to live off. Or whom have inheritances or windfalls to invest for income.
- The already retired who are fed up of managing their own pensions and savings.
And more recently, people disgruntled with their existing advisor looking for a financial review service they are guaranteed to receive.
I’ve built my business on the principle of always advising for others what I advise for myself and 3 generations of my family. I saw 20 years ago a gap for trustworthy Independent Financial Advice based on outstanding service. Different to the sales driven approach I’d witnessed of other IFAs while I was working as a consultant for large investment companies.
I’m proud that I’ve built a highly qualified team who really do care from the bottom of their hearts about our clients and the plans they need to go about their days without worrying about money.

A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE...
Helen Blackburn
MD & Founder of Oaklands Wealth Management talks about her experience.
I set up my independent financial advice company in 2004 after 20 years working for large pension & investment firms.
I regard that time as a long apprenticeship into the sorts of investments folks should be in. Just as importantly too, those to steer clear from.
Be wary of anything with the ‘guaranteed income’ label on it. No funds can hold to such a rash promise. Also run a mile from non-regulated funds, promising double-digit returns.
Our investment process has been honed over the years, though fundamentally the same as it ever was. I believe in active fund management where analysis of the future of companies is considered, not just previous performance.
All our funds we invest in are FCA regulated. And we have a filtering process which whittles down over 3000 funds every month to the selection we choose.
Our performance criteria are set by our investment team and we stick to our principles. Never swayed by emotion.
Using cashflow modelling we forecast your income and expenditure over your lifetime. Then we construct a portfolio adjusted for your risk profile.
Our service includes setting up and managing personal pensions, SIPPs, ISAs and General Investment Accounts. Plus personalised portfolio construction.
And if you have a pot of money from a property or business sale, divorce or inheritance, we can help you generate a tax efficient lifetime income stream.

A WORD FROM OUR CLIENTS...
“When my circumstances changed through divorce I visited Helen at Oaklands Wealth where she very clearly explained all my options in a way I understood. I’m very pleased with the outcome from the pension and investment advice and Helen couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful.”
