Kenneth Hopewell — Independent Financial Adviser in Sheffield
About Kenneth Hopewell
Kenneth Hopewell is a Wealth Planner at Mattioli Woods, helping clients understand their financial position, plan for the future and make confident decisions about the life they want to lead. Kenneth originally planned to become a financial adviser after graduating, but first took the opportunity to travel to South Korea, where he began teaching English. When the 2008 financial crisis extended his stay, he went on to spend several years in education, eventually becoming a head teacher. He later returned to his original ambition of financial planning, bringing with him a wealth of experience in communication, organisation and working with people. His background in education has strongly shaped his approach to advice. Kenneth is passionate about making complex financial information easier to understand, listening carefully to clients and helping them identify what really matters. He believes financial planning is about much more than selecting investments – it is about creating a plan around a client’s short-, medium- and long-term goals and adapting it as their circumstances change. Kenneth also helps clients navigate the increasingly complex areas of pension and Inheritance Tax planning, ensuring they understand the implications of important financial decisions and the options available to them. For Kenneth, the most rewarding part of his role is meeting clients and building genuine relationships. He enjoys learning about different people, their work and their ambitions, and believes good advice should leave clients with both the knowledge to understand their situation and the confidence to act. Outside work, Kenneth enjoys spending time outdoors with his family and their dog, Bernie. He also enjoys watching his children grow more adventurous on their bikes and scooters – even if he feels they are getting faster while he is getting slower.
