The latest Credo Partner Breakfast brought together professionals from across our network for a morning of market insights and wealth planning discussions.
The session opened with a market update from Ben Newton, exploring the investment implications of accelerating AI capital expenditure, the recent SpaceX IPO and the evolving UK political landscape. Jack Clayton and Archie Mayer then presented on the Great Wealth Transfer, examining the £5.5 trillion expected to pass between generations over the coming decades, why this represents a significant opportunity for families, and how early intergenerational planning can help families achieve better outcomes.
The morning concluded with Mark Pomroy, who outlined Credo's alternatives offering and the role alternative investments can play in building more diversified, resilient portfolios.
Thank you to everyone who joined us. We look forward to welcoming you to our next Partner Breakfast.

As England kick off their World Cup campaign today, it's a timely reminder that success, whether in sport or investing, is rarely achieved overnight.
The teams that go furthest in a tournament are often those that stay disciplined, trust the process and remain focused on their long-term objective, even when faced with setbacks along the way. The same principles apply to investing.
In our latest article, Billy Pain explores the parallels between the World Cup and investing, from managing uncertainty and emotions to the importance of patience, preparation and consistency.
As the tournament unfolds, there may be plenty of lessons from the pitch that investors can take into their own financial journey.

As a growth led event designed for decision makers, it’s one of the most valuable places for firms to explore new ideas and connect with partners who can help them scale smarter.
For Credo, it was a standout moment.

Each one reinforcing the appetite for better ways to support clients and build stronger, more resilient businesses. The buzz around the stand made it clear just how much interest there is in what Credo brings to the industry.
From a brand perspective, FAB.UK was exceptional exposure. The stand, messaging and overall presence resonated strongly with attendees, giving us the opportunity not only to connect with new firms in the accounting space, but also to showcase Credo’s broader offering.
It was a brilliant experience from start to finish. A combination of meaningful conversations, strong team energy and a polished brand presence that stood out on a busy show floor.

In our latest contribution to AccountingWEB, Credo’s Billy Pain explores how the long standing naming of the Stocks and Shares ISA may be unintentionally discouraging UK savers from taking advantage of a broader range of investment options.
Despite being one of the most powerful tax efficient wrappers available, many savers still default to Cash ISAs often because “stocks and shares” suggests equity only, higher risk investing.

Ross D’Addio explores the role of offshore bonds as a tax-efficient investment wrapper, highlighting how they can provide flexibility for UK clients in managing tax liabilities, retirement planning, and estate strategies. Rather than being an investment themselves, offshore bonds act as a vehicle to hold assets such as funds or discretionary portfolios, with the key advantage of deferring tax until withdrawals or encashment.
Ross D’Addio outlines scenarios where offshore bonds may be suitable, such as for higher-rate taxpayers, those maximizing ISA and pension allowances, or families considering wealth transfer and cautions that they may be less appropriate for clients needing short-term access or with unused tax-efficient allowances. His article underscores the importance of professional guidance when considering offshore bonds as part of a diversified financial plan.

Succession planning is rarely just a technical exercise. For many business owners, it is deeply personal and often overwhelming. One way to bring structure and clarity to this complexity is the Three-Bucket Framework, drawing on principles popularised in The Aspirational Investor by Ashvin B. Chhabra.
The framework encourages business owners to think about their wealth across three distinct buckets:
1. The Bulletproof Bucket
2. The Compound & Grow Bucket
3. The Aspirational Bucket
When these buckets are intentionally balanced, business owners can protect what matters most, grow capital sustainably, and still pursue future ambitions with confidence.
Billy Pain explores how this framework can support better succession planning conversations in our latest AccountingWEB article.
