Chadwicks are delighted to congratulate Lee Nguyen, Senior Associate and Chartered Financial Planner, who has been recognised in Citywire’s New Model Adviser Top 35 Next Generation Advisers. This rounds off a milestone year for Lee, where he also achieved Chartered Financial Planner status with the Chartered Insurance Institute.
The respected Citywire Top 35 list, now in its 10th year, showcases the very best financial planners in the UK aged 35 and under. It shines a spotlight on advisers who:
Invest in their own professional development through qualifications
Drive firm growth through innovation and outstanding client service
Make an impact beyond advice, contributing to the wider profession
Lee joined Chadwicks in 2020 after graduating with a First‑Class Honours degree in Economics from the University of East Anglia, where he developed a strong interest in applied economic analysis. One highlight of his studies was writing a paper on the Competitiveness & Uncertainty of Outcomes in NASCAR, published in the Norwich Economic Papers.
Maintaining close ties with academia, Lee sponsors consultancy‑based dissertations for current Economics undergraduates at UEA, supporting the next generation of researchers as they explore real‑world financial challenges.
Now a Chartered Financial Planner, Lee specialises in corporate financial planning, helping business owners, professionals, and families build long‑term financial security. His academic background has strengthened his technical approach to problem‑solving and taught him how to combine data, cashflow modelling, and behavioural insight. These skills shape the way he builds clear, easy‑to‑understand financial plans for clients.
We’re equally proud to remember that Radostina Dencheva achieved the same honour back in 2021, a reminder that our firm continues to nurture and celebrate outstanding talent.
“The favourite part of what I achieve is simply being able to help people: building relationships and creating measurable impact in their lives through financial guidance. In addition to my ‘financial planner hat’, I am also Chadwicks’ Head of Innovation and love exploring the exciting ways AI can be practically used to enhance our internal processes and the client experience. If you would like to discuss your financial plan, or if you already have something in place and would like a second opinion, I’d welcome a conversation.”
