Handsworth Advisory is an independent financial advisory firm founded in 2023 and headquartered in Singapore. We provide comprehensive, personalised financial guidance to individuals, families, and businesses — helping them build, grow, protect, and transfer wealth with clarity and confidence. Unlike bank-affiliated advisors or tied agents, we operate entirely independently, meaning every recommendation we make is driven solely by what is best for our clients.
We work with a wide range of clients — from young professionals beginning their wealth journey to high-net-worth individuals, business owners, and families planning their legacy. While we are based in Singapore, we serve clients across the globe, with a particularly strong and growing client base throughout Europe. Whether you are a local resident, an expatriate, or an internationally mobile individual managing assets across multiple countries, we have the expertise to guide you effectively.
We offer a full suite of independent financial advisory services, including:
Yes — completely. Handsworth Advisory has no affiliations with any bank, insurer, investment platform, or product provider. We do not receive commissions or referral fees for recommending specific products. Our advisory fee is paid directly from the profits generated by your portfolio, which ensures our interests are always fully aligned with yours. This independence is something we consider fundamental to the quality and integrity of the advice we provide.
Handsworth Advisory was founded in 2023. While we are a young firm, our team brings together decades of combined experience across wealth management, investment advisory, insurance, corporate finance, and estate planning — drawn from leading financial institutions across Europe and Asia. We have grown quickly because of the results we deliver and the trust we build with every client relationship.
Absolutely. Although Singapore is our home base, the majority of our client relationships are international. We have a particularly significant client presence across the European Union, and regularly advise individuals and families managing assets, properties, pensions, and tax obligations across multiple countries. We are experienced in the financial complexities that come with cross-border living — including EU succession law, international pension consolidation, and multi-currency portfolio management.
Handsworth Advisory is a licensed financial advisory firm operating under the regulatory framework established by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), one of the world’s most respected financial regulators. Importantly, we do not hold client funds directly — your assets are always held in your name with regulated, reputable custodians and financial institutions. Our role is purely advisory, meaning you always retain full ownership and control of your wealth at every stage of the relationship.
We take data privacy extremely seriously. All client information is stored and handled in full compliance with Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). Our systems use industry-standard encryption, and we operate strict internal data access controls. We never share your personal or financial information with third parties without your explicit consent, except where required by law or our regulatory obligations. Your financial life is treated with the same level of discretion we apply to your money.
No. Handsworth Advisory is an independent financial advisory firm, not a brokerage. We do not execute trades on your behalf, and we do not earn commissions from the sale of financial products. Our business model is built on providing objective, fee-based advisory — meaning we are paid for the quality of our advice and the results we deliver, not for selling you a specific product. This distinction is important and is at the heart of why our clients trust us.
We recognise that digital assets — including cryptocurrencies and tokenised investments — are becoming an increasingly relevant part of modern financial planning. We are able to advise on how digital assets may fit within a broader, well-diversified financial strategy, taking into account your overall risk profile, tax position, and long-term goals. We do not provide speculative trading advice, but we do take digital wealth seriously as a legitimate asset class when approached thoughtfully and in proportion.
Every client relationship begins with a complimentary consultation. We use this initial conversation to understand your financial situation, goals, and concerns. From there, we conduct a thorough financial assessment before building a personalised strategy and presenting it to you in plain language. Once agreed, we implement the plan and schedule regular reviews to ensure it evolves alongside your life. You will always have a dedicated advisor who knows your situation and is accessible between scheduled reviews.
We operate on a fully transparent, fee-based model with no hidden charges. Depending on the nature of the engagement, fees may be structured as a flat advisory fee, an hourly rate, or a percentage of assets under advice. All fees are discussed and agreed upon clearly before any engagement begins — you will always know exactly what you are paying and why. We believe transparency in fees is as important as transparency in advice.
We work with clients at a range of financial stages — from young professionals who are just beginning to build wealth to established high-net-worth individuals managing substantial portfolios. What matters most to us is that you are committed to your financial future and ready to engage seriously with the planning process. If you are unsure whether we are the right fit for your current situation, simply reach out and we will give you an honest answer.
Yes — this is one of our core areas of expertise. Many of our clients have financial ties to multiple countries: assets in one jurisdiction, residency in another, and family members or pension entitlements spread across several more. We are experienced in navigating the complexities of cross-border financial planning, including international pension consolidation, EU inheritance law and succession regulation, multi-currency portfolio management, and the tax implications of living and investing across different jurisdictions. If your financial life crosses borders, we are the right advisor for you.
Getting started is simple. Contact us by phone, email, or through the enquiry form on our website to arrange a complimentary initial consultation. It is simply an opportunity for us to understand your situation and for you to get a feel for how we work. We are available for in-person meetings at our Singapore office, or remotely by phone call for clients based elsewhere in the world.
