I'm not from Spain originally so I know firsthand what it's like to have financial stuff spread across different countries. It's one of those things that happens gradually and makes sense at the time. You leave a job, the pension stays there. You move countries, you open a new account. Life keeps moving and before you know it you've got bits and pieces sitting in three different places that you haven't looked at properly in years.

For a while that's fine. But at some point, especially if you're planning on staying in Spain long term and retiring here, it starts making more sense to bring things together. That's what I've been doing personally over the past few years. I still keep a bank account in the US for when I visit but my financial life is increasingly consolidated here because this is where my life is and where it's going to be. It makes things considerably easier for my accountant and more importantly it gives me a clear and identifiable path forward rather than a scattered collection of things I'm loosely keeping track of.

The cost argument alone is worth paying attention to. Most financial products charge a flat fee plus a percentage. If you've got two, three, or four of those running simultaneously across different countries those flat fees add up to a meaningful amount every single year that's just disappearing quietly in the background. Consolidating down to one means one flat fee, one percentage, and one place where everything is visible and working together rather than in parallel.

There's also the overlap issue. Multiple portfolios across multiple providers almost always means duplication you don't know about and gaps you can't see because nobody is looking at the whole picture at once.

If you've got pensions or investments sitting in Ireland, the UK, or anywhere else that you haven't looked at properly in a while, sorting that out before summer ends is one of the more useful things you could do for your financial picture right now.

So we've been talking this week about Spain performing well and why it's worth paying attention to right now. But the thing with any market doing well, the worst thing you can do is go all in on it. Over exposure is how people get hurt and it's the opposite of what most people are actually looking for.

The mindset here in Spain around investing is still pretty cautious and after what happened in 2008 it's understandable. People aren't looking to gamble. They want something they can rely on. That's exactly where structured products come into play and why, for me, it's a part (sometimes small, sometimes larger, depending on comfort level) of anything I recommend and part of my own portfolio.

Think of them as a balance against the open market. If Spain keeps performing the way it has been, great, your other investments benefit. But if something unexpected happens, and unexpected things always happen eventually, structured products act as a hedge against that. There are even products that guarantee your original investment back if things don't perform the way you hoped. I can't promise anything and nobody should, but as far as reliable and steady goes these are about as close as you get in the investment world.

You might miss out on some of the bigger gains you'd get going directly into individual stocks. That's true and it's worth saying. But what you get in return is protection. The kind of slow and steady accumulation that doesn't disappear overnight when markets do something crazy, and right now with everything going on globally markets are doing plenty of crazy things.

For people building toward retirement who wants their money working without the rollercoaster, that trade off makes a lot of sense.

09/06/2026

Spain is looking really good right now and I think it's still undervalued because most people outside of it only think about tourism when they think about the Spanish economy. That's starting to change. Over the past week some major news sources are finally coming around to the idea that Spain has the potential to make some real waves in European markets and honestly it's about time.

The stuff driving it isn't sexy. Energy, banking, infrastructure. Nobody's talking about it at dinner parties because everyone's focused on AI and tech right now. But here's the thing, most people aren't investing to get rich overnight. They're saving for retirement. They're trying to build something slow and steady that they can actually count on. They're not looking to gamble their life savings on the next big thing. And over the past few months Spain has fit that profile really well. Consistent, measurable gains from solid companies that aren't going anywhere.

The mindset here after the economic crash is understandable. A lot of people have been sitting on cash waiting for something, some signal that it's safe to move. That caution made sense for a long time. What's happening now though is that same caution is causing people to turn a blind eye to gains that are actually happening, steadily and consistently, in Spanish companies that could be doing real work for their retirement picture.

I'm not saying throw everything at the IBEX. I'm saying that slow and steady is exactly what most people tell me they're looking for, and right now Spain is delivering exactly that. The people waiting for something flashier might be waiting a long time.

08/06/2026

I get asked regularly what I'm actually doing with my own money. This makes a lot of sense because people want to see that I can manage my own before letting me manage theirs. So this week I'm going to do something a little different and just tell you, day by day, what I'd be doing right now if I were sitting where a lot of you are sitting.

To start with the most common situation. Cash sitting in a Spanish savings account earning basically nothing while the family keeps growing, the kids keep getting older, and the things you want for them keep getting more expensive. In my case, a new season of futbol with more costs, a new bike perhaps or a new book series. These have come a lot faster than expected, it seems like yesterday my son was four and now he's almost eight.

The ECB has been cutting rates which sounds like good news but actually means that whatever your savings account was paying before is going to get smaller not bigger over the coming months. Cash is already losing ground to inflation in real terms. That trajectory isn't improving anytime soon.

What I'd personally do is stop leaving the majority of it there. Everyone needs an emergency fund so that is non negotiable. In terms of the remainder, I'd look into other alternatives. Not because savings accounts are evil but because there are easy things available specifically for people living in Spain that protect your money, make it work considerably harder, and don't require you to become a financial expert or take on risk that keeps you up at night. Structures that are designed exactly for someone who wants their money doing something useful in the background while they focus on their actual life.

At the end of the day that's what this is about. Not spreadsheets and market analysis. It's about making sure that when your kid needs something or your family wants something or an opportunity comes up, the money is there and it's been working for you the whole time you were busy living your life.

That's what I'd do. Send me a DM and we can have a chat to see if you feel the same.

05/06/2026

Friday is here and honestly it's my favorite time of the week this time of year. The sun doesn't set until late, the kids are still outside playing, and there's something about sitting out on the terrace catching up with friends that just melts the stress of the week away.

Think about what you actually talk about on those Friday evenings. Family, weekend plans, what happened over the week. But it almost always includes the stuff that went wrong too. The delay at work, the thing that's been stressing you out, the stuff that's been sitting on your mind. Don't let your money be part of that second category. Have it be one of the good things instead. Using a bit of extra cash to finally fix that thing in the house you've been ignoring for two years, taking your partner out for a proper dinner, going a little bigger on your kid's birthday than you normally would. That stuff feels good and it's what the work is actually for.

That's what this week has been about really. Not complicated financial theory or scary market talk. Just the idea that sorting this stuff out before summer means you actually get to enjoy summer, and that you don't have to do it alone or make it harder than it needs to be.

On the economic side, Spain is in a genuinely interesting moment right now. Growth has been holding up better than most of Europe, tourism is strong heading into summer, and the ECB has been cutting rates which is good news for borrowing costs. But inflation is still sticky enough that cash sitting still is losing ground, and the uncertainty coming from US trade policy is creating enough volatility that having a proper structure in place matters more than ever. The people who have things set up correctly are well positioned for what's coming. The ones who are still figuring it out are leaving something on the table.

Have a good weekend. Let's go enjoy that terrace.

04/06/2026

We should be entering full vacation mode right about now. Worrying about suntan lotion and where the cooler is and whether there's enough ice. That's where our heads should be in June.

But there's so much noise in everyone's life these days that actually switching off feels harder than it used to. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘇𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲, 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲. It's a lot and it doesn't really stop just because the weather got nice.

What a lot of people forget is that they don't have to carry all of it themselves. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁. You go out to eat when you don't feel like cooking. Maybe you have someone come by once a month to help with the house. You take the car to someone to change the oil and check the tires because that's just easier and smarter than doing it yourself.

This is the same idea. Sit down with me, tell me what you want your life to look like, what you want for your family, what the goal actually is. 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁. I figure out the path, I deal with the paperwork and the providers and the moving parts, and I keep an eye on things so you don't have to.

You don't need to do all of this yourself. Nobody does everything themselves. The people who are most on top of their financial situation aren't the ones who spent their summer researching investment products. They're the ones who found someone they trusted and let them get on with it.

That's all this is. Let's talk before summer properly kicks in.

03/06/2026

One of the main things people tell me is that they're putting this stuff off because they just don't want to deal with it. Tons of paperwork, research, hoops to jump through, arguing with various providers about moving and consolidating things, figuring out what actually makes sense for their situation. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, especially when they could be relaxing with their family.

But here's the thing. You don't have to deal with any of that. That's literally what I'm here for.

I handle the admin. I do the paperwork. I deal with the providers. I keep an eye on things while you're at the beach or driving through the mountains or doing whatever you actually want to be doing this summer. You tell me what you want your life to look like and I figure out the best way to get you there. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝗷𝗼𝗯.

A lot of people assume that working with a financial advisor means a bunch of meetings and complicated documents and having to understand things you never really wanted to understand. It doesn't have to be that way. My job is to make this as easy as possible for you, not to make you feel like you need a finance degree to have a conversation with me. 𝗜𝗳 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜'𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱. If something needs doing I'll handle it. You stay as involved as you want to be and no more than that.

Yes it costs something. But what it buys you is time, headspace, and the ability to actually enjoy your summer without this stuff sitting in the back of your mind. The mental energy most people spend thinking about financial stuff they haven't dealt with yet is way more exhausting than the actual process of sorting it out.

𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆. 𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁.

02/06/2026

Putting something off for a few weeks doesn't feel like a big deal in the moment. But for most people, especially ones I work with, it doesn't actually go away. It just moves to the back of your mind where it sits quietly and annoys you at the worst possible times.

Like when you're at the beach trying to actually relax. Or at a nice dinner watching the sun go down with your family. Or on vacation specifically, when you're supposed to be switching off and instead there's this low level noise in the background about stuff you meant to deal with before you left.

That's not what summer is for. 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲. Your family.

The fact that you're reading this and thinking about it means it's already on your mind. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲. And the fact is that sorting it out takes a lot less time than the mental energy you'll spend carrying it around for the next two months if you don't.

One conversation is usually all it takes to either confirm that everything is moving in the right direction and you can genuinely relax, or to find the one or two things that need a small adjustment so you can stop thinking about it.

Either way you go on vacation with one less thing on your mind. That's worth an hour of your time right now.

01/06/2026

Summertime is finally here. The sun's out, people are sitting outside after work, and the whole vibe shifts in a way that I genuinely love about living in Spain.

It also makes my job a little more complicated. Because right around now everyone starts saying "let's pick this up after summer" or "I'm just thinking about vacation at the moment." And honestly, same. I'm very much looking forward to sitting around a barbecue with friends and a decent glass of wine and not thinking about markets for a few hours.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼. Stock markets keep moving. Unpredictable people keep doing unpredictable things to global markets. New opportunities come and go whether we're paying attention or not.

The S&P grew 5% last month. The Nikkei was up 12%. That's not a small number. That's the kind of move that makes a real difference to where someone ends up, and that's just one month. Waiting two or three months to have a conversation that could have you positioned for what's coming next isn't being relaxed about summer. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲.

I'm not saying skip the vacation. Take the vacation, you've earned it. I'm just saying that the best time to sit down and actually talk about this stuff is probably now, before everyone disappears for August. It doesn't have to be a big formal thing. It can literally be over a beer.

My schedule is pretty open right now. Reach out and let's find a time.

29/05/2026

There's a reason this week's posts landed the way they did for a lot of people. Inheritance and legacy aren't topics that come up in normal conversation. They're the things people think about at two in the morning and then forget about because there's always something more pressing during the day.

But the practical reality is pretty simple. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗴𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗼. Spanish law has its own logic, it varies by region, and it doesn't make exceptions for good intentions or the assumption that your family will figure it out. The people I've helped handle this well didn't do anything dramatic. They just had the conversation, got the right structures in place, and stopped thinking about it because there was nothing left to worry about.

That's genuinely available to anyone reading this. It's not complicated and it's not as expensive as most people assume.

Markets this week have continued to reflect a pretty uncertain global environment. The trade situation between the US and Europe hasn't resolved and probably won't quickly. The euro has been moving in ways that matter if you've got assets split across currencies. Inflation across Spain remains stubborn enough that cash sitting still is still losing ground in real terms. Every week that passes without a proper structure in place is a week that's quietly costing something. Summer is coming and these things have a way of getting pushed to October and then December and then somehow it's next year.

If anything this week got you thinking about whether what you've built is actually protected the way you think it is, my inbox is open. First conversation is always free, no obligation, and I'm not going to chase you down afterwards.

𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗳𝗳 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲. That's really the whole point.

Have a good weekend.
