The move to Mivida marks an exciting moment for the business. Discover the why behind the rebrand.
After almost 20 years, we're ready for a name and look that reflects who we've always been and where we’re heading.
Almost twenty years ago, KMD Private Wealth Management opened its doors with a simple conviction: that financial planning should give people clarity, not create more complexity. That conviction hasn't changed, and nor has our ownership. This is simply a new name and identity, reflecting how we've evolved as a team.
What began as a founder-led practice has evolved into a close-knit leadership team. Kevin Deamer, Olly Phillips and Colin Gibson now lead a firm of over twenty professionals, all committed to the same principle that your finances are not simply about money.
Why Mivida
Mivida (my-veeda) comes from "mi vida". My life.
Your finances reflect your ambitions, security and legacy. When partnering with us, we always start with questions about what you're building, what concerns you and what you want your wealth to achieve, rather than portfolio allocation or product recommendations.
One client described it well:
“Our previous IFA managed my pension acceptably and at a reasonable cost, but that left a gap regarding our wider financial position. Mivida filled that role perfectly by facilitating lengthy discussions and teasing out our future plans we had never considered in detail before. This allowed us to focus on our goals, including spending plans, travel, and financial support for our family etc. They helped Julie and me view our finances in a completely different light!”
Before we give guidance or advice, we need the full picture. You may have pensions with different employers, investments opened years apart, policies you’ve half forgotten about. Without that clarity, it’s hard to make informed decisions. We gather everything together, organise it clearly, show you exactly where you stand, and help you make confident decisions about your plan and your investments.
‘My life’ also applies to our team. We recognise the time and commitment they give, and the importance of creating an environment where they feel supported, valued and able to provide the best experience for our clients.
What you'll notice
Over the coming weeks, you’ll start to see our new identity across everything we do.
We're clearer in how we describe what we do, and a look and feel that better reflects the warmth we bring to our relationships.
At the centre of our logo is a flowing line running through our name. Life isn’t a straight path. It has ups and downs. We help our clients navigate those moments with clarity and confidence.
We have avoided stock imagery. Instead, we use authentic photography of our team and clients, alongside images shared by the team of their families, holidays and lives outside work. A big thank you goes to the clients who generously gave their time to be photographed.
Not much else has changed
The same team, supporting you as before.
The same investment philosophy.
The same approach to planning, investing and relationships.
Many of our clients have been with us for years, through market cycles, career changes and family milestones. That’s what Mivida represents. We’re with you for life.
Our renewed commitments in action
Our rebrand solidifies our core commitments to you:
Advice shaped around you, not incentives
Our advisers are never paid based on what they recommend. Every suggestion is based solely on what's right for you.
Chartered expertise you can trust
We are one of a small number of firms recognised as Chartered Financial Planners, with the highest standards of professionalism and qualification.
Relationships that span years
Many of our clients have worked with us through career changes, market cycles and major life transitions. They stay because we look after them with a high staff to client ratio and adapt as their lives evolve.
A human approach
Money conversations should feel reassuring, never intimidating. We speak your language, listen carefully, and never lose sight of what matters to you.
If you have questions
If you have questions, your adviser would be happy to talk it through. If you're not yet a client, this is a good moment to start a conversation.
Have an open, straightforward discussion about what matters to you and how we can help bring clarity to your plans.
