Celebrating our 30th birthday this year, Ruth Whitehead Associates is proud to be financial advisers at the heart of our local community, part of the most diverse and cosmopolitan capital city in the world.
We believe the only way is ethics and will help you tailor your investments to reflect your personal moral compass. Our mission is to create profit with principle. The ethical investments we recommend should outperform their unethical bedfellows, or there would be no point.
Our aspiration is that all portfolios we design perform well in a rising market, with a high level of protection if indices fall.
In an ever-changing world, there is comfort in knowing you can harness the power of your investments to be a force for good.
We are open, straightforward and accountable in our dealings. Ruth lives locally and sees clients every time she steps outside the door. That’s accountability.
RWA is a small company but big on diversity and equality: a core value regarding both clients and staff. Always has been, always will.
Ethics in Action
We fervently believe that charity begins at home, and in putting our money where our mouth is. By using our services you are also supporting our Ethics in Action initiative which sponsors local education and cultural initiatives.
Awards
We are incredibly proud of the awards we have won in the past few years.
- In 2019 we were Finalists in Investment Week’s Women in Investment Awards which highlighted the diversity and inclusion in our employment practices.
- In 2021 we were voted Social Mobility Champions in the hugely prestigious Financial Times Diversity in Finance Awards recognising our work offering cultural and educational opportunities for all in our community.
- And most recently we reached the final of Professional Adviser’s Best ESG Adviser Award for our ethical investing. We were proud to bursting to see the name of our small company up there in lights with the biggest and the best of companies who care.
