“The challenges of the last 12 months have encouraged many businesses and high net worth individuals to review their wealth strategies, with COVID-19 acting as a catalyst and fuelling the need to protect, preserve and generate wealth. This is turn has created a demand for trusted advisors, particularly as many of our clients look to future-proof their wealth.”

In light of his new role, Mufaddal adds “I am delighted to be joining SCIFS and to be working alongside the wider team to provide leading wealth management strategies and solutions.”

“I have been a financial planner for the last 15 years, of which the last 8 have been spent with the FTSE 100 company Hargreaves Lansdown.

For this reason, I look forward to working with clients in an independent nature and having total confidence that we can find the correct solution for them, to help them attain their longer-term hopes and dreams.”
