Marlene Outrim
Founder & Managing Director
Qualifications: MSc(Econ) Certified Financial Planner, Chartered FCSI, Qualified Pension Specialist, Chartered Wealth Manager
I founded UNIQ Family Wealth, with a distinct family focus, drawing on my experience of owning a Financial Planning practice for 17 years. “It’s difficult to advise individuals in isolation; family issues, succession and cascading wealth often need to be addressed. It made sense to create a firm to provide such a service.”
In my spare time I enjoy being with my growing family, dance, music, skiing and entertaining.
