What I offer you
When it comes to planning your financial future and making a positive impact on the planet, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Think of me as your "personal financial GP”, who also cares for the environment. I’ll help you evaluate where you currently stand, understand what truly matters to you, and map out where you’d like to go. This includes thinking about later life and retirement planning, and understanding the risks and opportunities from climate change that could impact your finances.
​
I believe in tailoring plans that align with your unique path. I invite you to think of yourself as CEO of your own future, firmly in the driving seat. I’ll be your trusted "personal CFO and Sustainability Officer," helping you explore different strategies to find what’s best for both you and the planet.
With my guidance, you’ll have the tools and insights to make confident financial decisions that support your goals and values.
What I do not offer you
I do not offer specific investment advice, nor do I try to sell you investment products. This means I'm genuinely independent and can act with your best interests in mind.
My goal instead is to help you confidently navigate the financial world. This includes understanding pensions, savings, insurance, how to invest sustainably, and how to save for retirement. Importantly, we’ll also consider the broader picture of how you sustain a living and its impact on your financial goals.​ Together we can help finance a future that’s optimal for you, as well as better for the planet.

Meet
Neil Dissanayake
Founder of Planet Positive Planning
I am passionate about investing for the good of the planet. With qualifications as an actuary (FIA), financial risk manager (FRM), certified green & sustainable finance professional (GFSP), and certified GAME plan coach, I am a seasoned expert in my field. Over 20 years of experience in retirement savings and income products have shaped my unique approach, grounded in the belief that planning for your future life, finances, and planetary impact can and should go hand-in-hand.
​
Given my career background, I have a deep understanding of financial risk. In today’s increasingly changing world, there is no truer time to say that past experience is not necessarily a guide for the future. I can help you navigate future uncertainties, finance the life you want, and support a future planet you want to live in.
​
I live in London with my husband and have family in England, Wales, Italy, and Sri Lanka. I am passionate about making the most of life by creating memories with loved ones, leading a healthy and balanced life, and supporting others to do the same. You only have one life to live, and we only have one planet. I want you to have a truly impactful life and financial plan that optimises both.
