What is financial wellbeing?

Financial wellbeing can mean different things to different people.

At Arbuthnot Latham, we believe it is more than just the sum total of your wealth. It also encompasses your knowledge, awareness, confidence, and overall financial resilience.

As a relationship-led bank and wealth manager, we play a crucial role in supporting our clients' financial wellbeing and helping them look forward with confidence.

What does financial wellbeing mean to you?

Creating financial wellbeing is similar to developing our physical or mental wellbeing. It takes time, effort, and ongoing support and guidance.

While technology has democratised access to financial education and time-saving tools, we believe that having access to an expert who understands your financial requirements and future aspirations, can be invaluable for giving you long-term confidence in your money.

Over recent years, various global and domestic events have had an impact on everyone’s financial wellbeing. The covid-19 pandemic, conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and the ensuing economic volatility have contributed to the cost-of-living crisis.

The big picture

We wanted to understand more about how people are feeling about their money.

Our Financial Wellbeing report [1] seeks to assess the national mood, and explores a number of areas including:

  • The state of the nation
  • Planning for the future
  • Next generations
  • Getting financial advice
  • Financial fraud

Our survey uncovered the true extent of the nation’s financial concerns:

Economy

Nearly 90% of people are worried about the state of the economy.

Wellbeing

Just 30% of people would consider speaking to their bank about their financial wellbeing during a significant life event.

Finances

Four in five people say they are worried or stressed about their own finances.

Fraud

One in four have been the victim of fraud.

Helping you go further

The good news is that where there are concerns or problems, there are also solutions. We work with our clients to create a long-term financial plan, designed around their specific needs. Our aim is to support and empower them to take ownership of their financial wellbeing.
