What should I do with a personal injury compensation payment?
A personal injury compensation award may need to provide financial support for many years, so decisions should reflect both immediate and longer-term needs. This can include future care costs, living expenses, capital preservation, investment risk and how accessible the money needs to remain.
Whether and how compensation should be invested depends on the recipient’s circumstances, future financial requirements and attitude to investment risk. Where funds are intended to support someone over the long term, an appropriate investment strategy can consider the balance between preserving capital, generating returns and maintaining access to money when it is needed.
Yes. A wealth manager with relevant experience can help develop a financial and investment strategy around the recipient’s needs, including capital preservation, investment risk, future expenditure and longer-term financial security.
Look for a regulated wealth manager with experience managing significant compensation awards and the specific financial requirements they can create. Investment approach, risk management, fees, service and the ability to plan around long-term care and spending needs should all be considered when comparing firms.

A life-changing injury or illness is a devastating blow that needs to be softened in every possible way.

Compensation can’t undo the harm, but it can provide for a lifetime of support and the very best care – as long as the funds are properly managed and invested. Anything less amounts to a double blow.

Once you have received the compensation you deserve, the journey towards finding the right manager for it begins.

Making the most of the future

If you have recently come into some money via inheritance, a business sale or some other form of liquidity event, it can be hard knowing what to do with it.

Capital preservation is the foundation of a robust wealth strategy, and it is vital that you take steps to ensure that as much of your new funds remain yours as possible – rather than being swallowed by the taxman or lost on excessive management fees.

Understanding the whole picture is vital: assets versus liabilities, shorter-term plans in the context of longer-term ones, and investment risk against reward. The right wealth manager will devise plans that take into account any number of complexities, enabling you to increase your returns and minimise your risk.

There are many ways to deploy a windfall, but you have to go down the route that will make the biggest difference to your financial position. Unlocking the true power of your money could really change your life for the better, so make the most of the capital you now have available to put to work.
