India to UK and Back: Facilitating a Smooth Retirement Transition

The Returnee

Lewis Jacob

Situation

Lewis, an Indian citizen, moved to the UK 15 years ago and is now in a leadership position with a multinational there. He has two children, both in college. While his family visits India occasionally, he plans to retire in a year and relocate to India with his wife. Lewis is keen to set up a charity in his parents name and focus on raising funds and directing its activities.

Challenges​

A smooth transition while living in one country and planning to retire in another involves aligning financial plans to support their lifestyle and philanthropic goals. It is also important to ensure his wife  has an easy cultural transition.

Financial Approach

We are committed to finetuning Lewis’s financial plan and keeping a close watch on its outcome to guarantee sufficient funds for his ambitions without compromising his lifestyle or family obligations. We closely monitor market conditions and leverage investment opportunities to ensure Lewis’s portfolio remains robust and resilient. Our proactive approach is tailored to help mitigate risks and capitalize on growth to secure his financial future and support his philanthropic endeavours.

Family involvement

We are helping his wife understand the wealth management strategy we have designed for them, allowing her to gradually become comfortable with the numbers and approach. Our goal is to foster open communication to prevent any potential friction so that the relocation is smooth sans cultural shocks.
