Israel Babatunde — Independent Financial Adviser in Berkshire
About Israel Babatunde
Israel Babatunde is a Financial Planner at Lumin Wealth, helping clients build clear, practical financial plans to support their long-term goals. His day typically starts with a gym session before heading into the office, bringing energy and focus into his work. Much of his time is spent speaking with clients, understanding their priorities and building strong, long-term relationships so he can guide them through important financial decisions with confidence. Israel has a strong interest in the analytical side of financial planning, particularly pensions, tax planning and investments. He enjoys simplifying complex financial concepts and turning them into clear, actionable strategies that clients can easily understand and implement. Since starting his career in financial services in 2022, Israel has progressed from trainee paraplanner to qualified financial adviser, gaining experience as both a junior adviser and sub-team leader before moving into his current role. This hands-on progression has given him a well-rounded understanding of the planning process and client journey. What he finds most rewarding is building lasting relationships and being trusted to support clients through key financial decisions, helping them feel confident and in control of their future. Outside of work, Israel enjoys staying active, whether that’s training in the gym, playing football with friends or trying out the latest fitness trends. He also has a genuine passion for finance, regularly keeping up to date with markets and planning strategies both professionally and personally. A lesser-known fact — he achieved his Maths GCSE early, completing it in Year 8.
