Are you a Financial Advisor based in Yorkshire or near to the M62 Corridor looking to sell your client bank due to retirement or exit from Financial Services?

The Acquiring Company

This family run Directly Authorised IFA business based in West Yorkshire was established in 1993. They manage c£85 million of Funds under Management with a team of 5 in total. With open architecture they would not propose any immediate changes to client investment mandates or charging structure. Their priority is to build strong and lasting relationships with your clients primarily by holding one or two reviews to build their trust. Their typical adviser fee charging is 1% per annum and their investment proposition generally follows three different models below:

  1. Their platforms of choice are Transact and Old Mutual Wealth. They promote Clever Adviser based in Chester which enables them to build and manage their clients’ portfolios in-house via their dynamic planner risk profile for fund selection and switching decisions based on asset allocation to match client’s attitude to risk.
  2. For clients wanting a managed portfolio service they use DFM’s
  3. For clients that prefer an active service they can provide clients with access to the whole of market and clients with bonds or using other managed service such as Royal London or Prudential are likely to remain where they are, unless it is in the clients best interest to move.
