Meet Your Chartered Financial Planner
Chartered Financial Planner, Registered Life Planner and founder of Designer Wealth, helping UK business owners turn decades of hard work into a confident, retirement-ready future.
A lifetime's work deserves more than a spreadsheet.
I'm Kris Amliwala, a Chartered Financial Planner based in Leicester and the founder of Designer Wealth. For over twelve years I've worked alongside business owners, professionals and their families, helping them make sense of the wealth they've built and the life they want it to fund.
Designer Wealth exists for one moment in particular: when a business owner in their 50s starts asking what comes next. The Designer Wealth Algorithm® was built to answer that question clearly, turning business value, pensions, property and investments into one plan you can actually follow.
My approach blends the technical rigour of Chartered-level planning with the human focus of a Registered Life Planner. Numbers matter, but so do the conversations that sit behind them.
If you'd like to see how that works in practice, walk through the four steps of the Designer Wealth Algorithm® and see the retirement plan documents you receive.

Three principles behind every plan.
Family first
Every plan begins with the people you love. Money is only ever a tool, it's what it protects that matters.
Life-led planning
As a Registered Life Planner, I start with your goals and values before touching a single spreadsheet.
Rigour without jargon
Chartered-level technical work, explained in language you can act on with confidence.
A planner, a speaker, a family man.
Outside of client work, Kris is an active voice in the profession, invited to speak at the MDRT Annual Conferences in the USA & Canada, MDRT & The Personal Finance Society Future Vision 2024, and the NextGen Planners Global Conference in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
He works closely with a trusted network of solicitors, accountants and tax specialists so every Designer Wealth client benefits from joined-up advice.
Above all, Kris believes great planning is deeply personal. The best conversations rarely start with money, they start with what you want your life, and your family's life, to look like.
