More than Financial Advice

At Compound Wealth Planning, we take responsibility for making your financial life simpler, clearer, and more aligned with your aspirations. We go beyond advice — working with you to proactively plan, provide technical expertise, and implement the strategies we agree on. Through personalised financial coaching and disciplined wealth management, we help ensure that every decision moves you closer to the life and legacy you want to build.

Founded by award-winning Financial Adviser Kanishk Swarup, who has spent the past decade advising individuals and families, following an earlier ten-year career as an Equity Derivatives Trader at leading global investment banks including Credit Suisse, J.P. Morgan and BNP Paribas, we specialise in working with high income, time scarce individuals seeking financial planning and advice to protect and grow their family’s wealth.
