Programmes for Wealth International was formed in 1996 to support a growing global client base. Each of our qualified consultants and experts are UK trained and carry international industry qualifications with at least fifteen years individual experience.

Our award winning site was launched back at the end of 1998 and is now recognized as one of the leading investment sites of the world. Our monthly newsletter is one of the most widely read publications in the investment arena with professional investors and industry leaders subscribing from over 90 countries. This number increases each and every day.

Programmes for Wealth International has been quoted in the International Herald and Tribune as well as numerous other global and trade publications and our opinions are sought constantly. Our independence from any one particular investment institution as well as our dedicated and highly trained client support staff help to make us the number one choice for the discerning investor. With secure online valuation systems provided for all clients and new multi-lingual helpdesks, started in Japanese and Mandarin, it is no wonder that we receive enquiries every single day from international investors seeking guidance.

Programmes for Wealth International provide discounts and always will. We believe strongly in value for money combined with high quality for the long term. We are sought out by fund companies each month to add their funds to our approved list but there is a rigorous due diligence process that they must survive before we would consider adding them.

Our newsletter has some of the world's greatest industry figures writing up to the minute articles for our subscribers and our professional version even provides a facility for people to contact the authors direct.

Our Fund Research and Analysis Department scours the thousands of funds available to ascertain those that have not only performed both well and consistently but also considers many other factors such as service, speed and support. A closely guarded scoring system combined with human input from the fund expert's in-house combine to generate our Top 10 Funds list. Any investor can feel supremely confident that allocating to one of these approved funds is a good quality long term choice.
