Alex Groves

Independent Financial Adviser, Abacus Associates

Based in Titchfield with clients across the South in Portsmouth, Southampton and onto Bournemouth and the surrounding areas. In collaboration with Simon Glanville and with the support of Abacus, I am delighted to have run Abacus’s most southerly office at The Tanneries.

I have worked in financial services for 30 years and as a Defined benefits Specialist have the Gold Standard for Pension Transfer advice. As an Independent Financial Adviser, I am able to offer a whole of market and unbiased opinion. Whatever your financial planning needs I aim to be able to assist.

Straight talking and total honesty has been my mantra for the past 30 years and I see no reason why this should change. Clients are centric to my business and I always aim to provide the very best solutions for them.

I want to be my clients trusted adviser for all things financial and to achieve this I need to offer top quality advice with exceptional service. I take the time to fully understand your needs before making and form of recommendation. Having built my recommendations, it’s just as important to me that they are regularly reviewed to ensure my clients aims and aspirations are achieved.

My specific areas of expertise:

Investment & wealth management

Creating, growing, and then maintaining wealth is key to successful financial planning and should be part of a longer-term investment strategy.

Personal protection

Talking about illness, disability or death is never an easy conversation to have but protecting against the unexpected will help with financial security and ensure your family can cope should the worst happen.

Lifetime financial planning

If you have a Defined Benefit or Final Salary pension scheme, there may be individual circumstances where a pension transfer could be advantageous.

Pensions & retirement planning

When you think about the future, what does your retirement look like to you? An important question which we can help you answer.

Wills & power of attorney

Making a Will is essential to ensuring that your wealth benefits those whom you choose and is not taken by taxation, unnecessary legal costs and beneficiaries chosen by the law.

Business protection planning

The importance of business protection is often overlooked but is key to helping business owners plan for the unexpected.

Defined benefit pension transfer specialist

If you have a Defined Benefit or Final Salary pension scheme, there may be individual circumstances where a pension transfer could be advantageous.
