PHILIP PORTER
Founder & CEO- Investment Management
Philip Porter is a finance veteran since 1998 in the fields of individual wealth management, tax planning for UK and overseas clients, building a significant client base within business, finance, sports and media, and entrepreneurial communities. In 2012 Philip became a founder and partner of The Newport Group. a tax advisory and litigation management organisation after realising that many of the his clients were stung by badly constructed tax based investment schemes and latterly by financial structures and investment funds that, through no fault of the investors have collapsed. Numerous clients found themselves in complicated tax schemes with ruinous tax liability. It became obvious that the most effective way to progress this was to engage clients into individual groups of those impacted in similar ways so providing litigation management services to help individuals find resolutions and get back on track.
The strategy of strength in numbers when dealing with HMRC proved successful when dealing with the Eclipse tax film case.
The success of this business has built cases for over 2000 people lay in over 30 years of experience in legal, tax and investment structures, financial markets, pension and offshore investments – not to mention the close relationships with many third party specialist law firms and claims management organisations that have a history of financial backing to find settlements and solutions for people who have sometimes lost hope.
In 2024 Philip expanded his services in consultancy and began NAFETS . Through NAFETS Philip works for varied investors in emerging markets including Saudi Arabia, India and Nigeria. Current consultancy include providing private tax advice in the UK for investors, property development in UK, agricultural development for small business and putting his clients with problems with the right team to give them solutions. Whether they be legal, financial, tax, or property planning through application and appeal if necessary.
Phil is married with four children including his four legged golden retriever son Huxley. He spends his time between London, Henley and the Algarve. He enjoys snooker, football, shooting and good old rock n roll.
Philip has recently been appointed Investment Director to BA Partnership; sponsors Maidenhead United FC, and supports the charity CALM
