Where we come from
Saltus provides a range of wealth management services to advisers, individuals and institutions.
We set up the business in 2004 with the ambition to improve everyone’s relationship with their wealth: to make it a positive force for their future.
Since our launch, we have been guided by a number of principles. We want to bring the best possible professional standards – which historically were only accessible at institutional level – to as many people as possible. For our clients this means high quality financial planning based on an individual’s specific circumstances and ambitions and high-quality investment management designed to meet those needs, particularly with a regard to sustaining performance in tough years. Our service is always delivered in a friendly, respectful and courteous way.
Those same values inform our relationships with every partner. We seek to listen and to understand and then work collaboratively to create the package that is right for each partner.
We know that across the country financial planners are doing an outstanding job for clients and that relationship is the bedrock of their future prosperity. Supporting that relationship at the same time as delivering what a partner needs from their business is the foundation stone of what the Saltus Partnership Programme can offer.
