About

Advice the way it should be.

Aries Wealth Management was founded on a simple belief: clients deserve to fully understand the advice they receive — not just follow it. We're an independent, FCA-authorised firm, and every recommendation we make is built around your needs, not ours.

Meet Oliver
Our story

A firm where the client comes first.

Aries Wealth Management Limited was founded in November 2017 by Oliver Foster, a qualified Independent Financial Adviser with a career in financial services stretching back to 2006.

Oliver's decision to establish his own firm was driven by a conviction that clients deserved better. Over the years, he had seen parts of the financial services industry where product sales took priority over client outcomes — where advisers were more focused on what they could sell than on what the client actually needed. He wanted to build something different: a firm where the client's needs came first, every time.

That principle remains at the heart of everything we do today.

Our approach

How we work

Education-led advice

We see our role as that of an educator, not a salesperson. We take the time to explain every recommendation — what it is, why we're suggesting it, how it works, and what the alternatives were. We want every client to understand their plan well enough that they'd happily explain it to a friend.

Independent and whole-of-market

Aries Wealth Management is authorised and regulated directly by the Financial Conduct Authority. We are not tied to any product provider, platform, or parent network — so we can search the entire market to find the most suitable solution for you, without any conflicts of interest.

Bespoke, thorough research

Every piece of advice we provide is built from the ground up, using leading industry tools — including Defaqto Engage for whole-of-market research, Selectapension for product and cost comparison, and CashCalc for cashflow forecasting.

Our values

What we stand for

Transparency.

We'll always tell you what we're recommending, why, and what it costs. No surprises, no hidden agendas.

Independence.

Our advice is based solely on what's right for you — not on any commercial arrangement with a product provider.

Education.

We won't leave you wondering what you've done or why. You'll understand your plan inside and out.

Trust.

We build long-term relationships with our clients. Many of our new clients come through personal referrals — and that's something we take great pride in.
