Forty years in financial advice reinforces one truth: long-term success comes from careful planning, strong relationships and the ability to adapt.

This anniversary isn’t just about where Blacktower has been — it’s about continuing to build for the future.

Reaching our 40th anniversary is a reminder that trust is not built in a moment — it’s earned over decades, client by client, decision by decision.

Building a firm that lasts 40 years requires more than technical expertise; it requires culture, integrity and shared values.

– John Westwood, Group Chairman

For four decades, Blacktower has helped individuals and families navigate change — through economic cycles, international moves and evolving regulation.

In 2026, Blacktower marks 40 years of providing financial advice — supporting clients through changing markets, evolving regulation and life’s many transitions.

While the financial landscape continues to shift, one principle remains constant: long-term planning, tailored to individual circumstances, matters more than ever.

Blacktower at 40: What Four Decades of Change Mean for You

By John Westwood,
Founder and Executive Chairman,
Blacktower Financial Management

When you place your financial future in someone else’s hands, experience matters.
Trust matters even more.

As Blacktower reaches its fortieth year, I often reflect not just on how much the financial world has changed, but on what those changes mean for the people we advise. Because behind every pension, portfolio or plan is a family, a future and a set of decisions that will shape the years ahead.

40 Years.
The Benchmark in Financial Advice.

For four decades, Blacktower has helped individuals and families navigate change — through economic cycles, international moves and evolving regulation.

As we mark our 40th anniversary, we’ve brought together our long-term perspective in a single, in-depth guide designed to help you understand why experience, cross-border expertise and regulatory strength matter more than ever.
