The honest problem

You've done the hard part. So why does your portfolio still feel like guesswork?

Most UK investors over 30 aren't beginners. They're busy. They have three pensions from four jobs, a Stocks & Shares ISA they opened in a hurry, and a watchlist that quietly became a strategy. Sound familiar?

Scattered and invisible

Old workplace pensions, a Lifetime ISA, legacy shares from a share-save scheme. Nobody has ever looked at the whole picture at once — so nobody knows your real exposure.

Fees eating the upside

A 1.4% all-in cost sounds trivial until you compound it over 25 years. On a £250,000 pot that's a six-figure difference — paid quietly, monthly, without a single invoice.

Accidental concentration

Three global trackers can still be 22% the same seven US companies. Most investors discover their real concentration risk at precisely the wrong moment.

Tax left on the table

Unused ISA allowance, un-harvested CGT, pension contributions that could have reclaimed higher-rate relief. Each April the window closes and doesn't come back.

The cost of waiting is not dramatic — it's gradual. There is no crash, no alert, no email. Just a slow drift between the portfolio you actually hold and the one your life in ten years' time requires. A structured review takes one afternoon and usually pays for itself before the next tax year.

What we actually do

Clarity first. Structure second. Then returns.

We are consultants, not a platform and not a fund house. We earn nothing from where your money sits — which is exactly why our recommendations look different.

Full portfolio X-ray

Every holding, wrapper and pension consolidated into one view — with the overlaps, costs and currency exposure you've never been shown.

  • Look-through holdings analysis
  • Total cost of ownership, in £
  • Drawdown stress testing

Tax-efficient structuring

The same assets, held in the right order across ISA, SIPP and general account. Asset location is the most reliably ignored free return in UK investing.

  • ISA & SIPP allowance sequencing
  • CGT harvesting calendar
  • Dividend vs. accumulation logic

Risk you can actually live with

Volatility is only a problem if it makes you sell. We calibrate your allocation to your real behaviour and your real timeline — not a nine-question questionnaire.

  • Capacity-for-loss modelling
  • Rebalancing rules in writing
  • A plan for the next 30% fall

The Daily Money Report

Every client receives a dated, written report — not a verbal chat and a handshake. Positions, costs, actions, deadlines and the reasoning behind each recommendation, so you could hand it to any other adviser and have it stand up to scrutiny.

  • Quarterly refresh with tracked changes
  • Plain-English rationale for every move

"I had four pensions and a vague feeling of dread. The report found £3,100 a year in platform and fund charges I didn't know I was paying, and showed me I was 26% exposed to a single sector. First time in a decade I've felt in control of it."

JM James M.Software director, Manchester · age 41

"What I valued most was being told what not to do. No product pitch, no insurance bolt-on. Just a sequencing plan for my ISA and SIPP and an honest conversation about how much risk I can genuinely stomach at 53."

RK Rachel K.GP partner, Bristol · age 53

"I pick my own stocks and wasn't looking to hand that over. They didn't ask me to. They fixed the structure around my trading — wrapper choice, CGT timing, position sizing — and left the stock picking to me. Exactly right."

SA Sunil A.Chartered engineer, Reading · age 37

"Three years of quarterly reviews now. The value isn't the spreadsheet — it's the phone call in March 2025 that stopped me selling everything. That single conversation was worth more than the fee twice over."

About the firm

Ten years of reading statements so our clients don't have to.

Daily Money Report Ltd was founded in 2016 in London by a small team from institutional research and private-client wealth management. We were tired of watching capable people pay for advice that was really distribution.

So we built the opposite: a consultancy paid only in fixed fees and retainers, with no product, no platform and no commission. Our only output is analysis you own outright. Today we work with engineers, clinicians, founders, senior public-sector staff and recent retirees across the UK — people who are competent with money and simply want a rigorous second pair of eyes.

  • Fee-only, always. We accept no commission, trail or referral payment from any provider, ever.
  • We never hold your money. Assets stay with your own custodians and platforms. We only ever advise.
  • Qualified people. CFA and CISI-credentialled consultants, average 14 years in UK markets.
  • Everything in writing. Every recommendation documented with its reasoning and its risks.
