Mike LeGassick

I am a seasoned financial professional with over 30 years of experience—and a mission that goes far beyond numbers and spreadsheets. I’m here to help people retire with confidence, and I do that by simplifying the complex, debunking myths, and guiding clients with candour and care. I know that money decisions are emotional, and genuine financial planning must reflect that. One of my biggest passions is educating and coaching clients to avoid common investing mistakes. I tell the truth about investing—unvarnished and unfiltered—because that’s where real value lies. My style is refreshingly direct, free of jargon, and focused on clarity and confidence. If you don’t feel our first meeting gave you real value, I’ll personally pay you £50 for your time—no questions asked. For a deeper understanding of my approach, visit www.saverbehaviour.co.uk—a plain-English resource hub packed with insights that cut through industry noise. You’ll find ideas and explanations that empower you to make better financial decisions. I’m also the author of Mind Over Markets – Uncovering Truths, Overcoming Biases, and How to Secure a Comfortable Retirement, available on Amazon. It’s a practical guide for those who want to see through financial illusion and learn how the markets really work. As an independent advisor, I’m not tied to any provider. That means I can recommend what’s genuinely best for you and your family, with the whole of the market at my fingertips. Alongside my PA Sharon and our wider team at Manning and Company, we reverse-engineer your goals—starting with where you want to be, then building the steps to get there. I’m also proud to have contributed to the profession beyond client work. I’ve served on the Devon and Cornwall Personal Finance Society steering group, contributed to the Parliamentary Finance Review, and am now part of the Parliamentary Review team—offering insights to shape the future of financial services in the UK. Most importantly, I practise what I call Life Planning. That means going deeper than the spreadsheets—understanding your aspirations, desires, and purpose. Because money is not the goal. Life is. If you're someone who values financial planning and wants to partner with someone who puts your clarity first, I invite you to schedule a no-obligation discovery meeting. Together, we’ll craft a plan that lets you live on your own terms, with freedom, peace of mind, and a rekindled vision for the future.
