A little bit about Kashef

I am passionate about financial services and guide clients to define and meet their financial objectives whilst creating a pathway to financial independence. I take the time to get to know my clients and gain a deep understanding of their situation and needs. I then help formulate bespoke, personalised strategies to meet their goals and aspirations. I remain with clients throughout their financial journey advising on areas as diverse as savings and investments, pensions, tax planning, relevant insurance products and estate planning.

Your money won’t reach its goal unless it has a direction. But with a plan, it can work towards something better. I can help.

An adviser’s insight

Money needs a plan. Here’s where to start

Money doesn’t make decisions on its own. Left sitting in cash, it quietly loses value. That’s why money needs a plan. It’s not about being wealthy or knowing all the answers – it’s about giving your money direction. And in the UK, many people miss out simply because they don’t take that first step.

  • Most people in the UK save sporadically or leave money sitting in cash – missing out on growth.
  • Planning gives peace of mind. It turns uncertainty into clarity.
  • The earlier you start, the more powerful the impact – but it’s never too late.
  • Quilter’s purpose is to help build brighter financial futures. That starts with a plan.
  • Investing always carries risk. The value of investments can go up and down and you may get back less than you invested.

Making your money work for you

Why investing matters

  • Lazy money loses value over time – inflation chips away at it.
  • Investing little and often helps your money grow without needing to be an expert.
  • A plan helps you stay focused and avoid reactive decisions.

Inflation and ‘lazy money’

  • Inflation quietly erodes the value of your savings.
  • £10,000 in cash today could be worth significantly less in 10 years.
  • Investing helps protect your money from inflation and grow it over time.
