Clearwater has advised Aspinalls Group Limited (Aspinalls), a specialist financial planning practice, on its sale to HFMC Wealth (HFMC), a wealth planning and investment management provider to high net worth individuals and businesses.

Aspinalls advises over 100 families, many of whom have been clients for nearly four decades and, in some cases, over four generations. The deal will add to HFMC Wealth over £130m (€153m) of assets under advice and management.

Founded in 1986, HFMC Wealth is a Corporate Chartered Financial Planner and Independent Financial Adviser with offices in London and Weybridge. They are recognised as a Top 100 firm by New Model Adviser and the FT and have just been recognised as winner of the South East region by Citywire NMA for 2020. The business has over £1.4bn (€1.6bn) of assets under advice and management and offers both advisory and discretionary managed services.

We have felt for some time that joining a larger firm would be the best way to deliver the wider range of services we wish to provide our clients, whilst also providing a controlled succession to my ownership of the business. To ensure continuity for our clients, it was vital that any such partner shared our values and those of our clients, whilst mirroring our approach to wealth management. I wanted to have complete confidence that our clients would continue to receive high-quality ongoing advice and service for as long as they need it. In HFMC Wealth we have found a partner that meets all these requirements and who will protect the legacy of the business we are proud to have built over the last 38 years.

David Aspinall, Aspinalls Group Ltd Chairman

The sale of the business is a great opportunity for Aspinalls, and both companies complement each other very well. It has been a pleasure to work with the team to help them achieve their goals and we wish them all the best for the future.
