About

Our ethos

IPS Capital is an independent, owner-managed partnership. Clients like you benefit from the high standards our close-knit team set for themselves, and our smaller size and impartiality allow us to continually improve and enhance our business.

Our internal structure allows us to safeguard your interests, and put you at the centre of the decision-making process at all times.

In the feedback and comments they share with us, clients say they respect our unwavering commitment to exceptional service. Many view us as their most trusted advisers, thanks to the strong relationships we foster and the long-term value we add by seamlessly integrating wealth planning and investment management.

IPS is built around you, and our success depends on helping you meet your objectives. Let us enable you to embrace your financial future with confidence.

Our history

The firm was established in 1999, when we started offering investment consultancy and advice to UK pension funds.

In 2004, we launched an advisory service, before creating IPS Capital in 2007 as a discretionary investment management firm, independently owned by the Partners.

In 2020, we acquired the business of Prospect Wealth Management, and in 2023 we established our wealth planning service.
