What our clients say

"The outcome has been exactly what we envisaged. We are able to live on the income we hoped for, we are not wealthy but in the area we live we are comfortable, afford a holiday and buy nice gifts for our children and granddaughter (the latter only as a result of Alex's stewardship of my fund)."

VouchedFor

"Alex modelled and forecast my current pensions and how long they would last, for a number of scenarios. I was then able to use this insight to sort out my savings and overall finance plan. This has brought me great peace of mind and a feeling of being in control."

Eugen Neagu

director, financial planner

Eugen has worked in financial services since 2009, starting as an IFA with a few national firms and a network.

During this period he became a Certified Financial Planner, a Chartered Financial Planner, a Chartered Wealth Manager and a Fellow of the Personal Finance Society. In 2019, together with Alex and Diane, he founded N2 Asset Management. He is also the firm's Compliance Officer.

A former Romanian Army rocket scientist specialising in ballistics, Eugen was drawn to financial planning by the similar challenge of targeting a retirement income while dealing with uncertainty.

A retirement thinker, author of guides, and researcher in investor behaviour, his focus is on lifestyle financial planning and client preferences.

Outside of work, Eugen enjoys reading up on investments, gardening, and spending time with his family.

Diane Barrett

Director

Diane continued her career by moving into the hedge fund industry, working for various boutique companies and progressing to Sloane Robinson, until she moved to an IFA firm specialising in pension advice and transfers progressing to Associate Director.

Alex Norwood

director, financial planner

Over the years, Alex has been recognised within the profession for his technical knowledge and client-focused approach, including being named among the UK’s top financial advisers under 35 earlier in his career. He has also regularly featured in financial publications and provided commentary on areas ranging from pensions and tax planning to complex cross-border financial issues.

Much of the firm’s work involves helping individuals and families with increasingly international financial lives, including overseas pensions, residency and tax considerations, and planning where assets, income, or future goals span multiple jurisdictions. Alex has also become a point of reference for other professionals — both within financial services and related industries — seeking guidance on technical and overseas planning matters.

The focus at N2 has remained the same throughout: understand the client’s life first, build the planning around it second, and only then decide which products or structures best support it.

Outside of work, Alex enjoys spending time with his wife, Georgia, and their son, Jenson, along with travelling, football, and the occasional attempt to switch off from the world of financial planning.
