The Company
This directly authorised IFA business with head office in Southampton, and two other satellite offices in Dorset and Hampshire have an existing footprint from Advisers in place to cover Bristol to Brighton and Southampton to Oxford & Milton Keynes. The two individuals behind the firm include a mixture of 20 years financial services experience and 29 years chartered accountancy. The firm have been building assets under management through referrals, online marketing and acquisitions.
The firm currently offer multi asset / multi manager solutions, typically through Standard Life Myfolio. However, they are creating their own DFM by attracting fund managers from a leading global fund management house. Their future model will enable existing investment mandates to remain with existing providers where this is in the client’s best interest or move to fully-diversified, discretionary-managed investment solutions where portfolios will be continually monitored to make sure they perform as expected and remain within the client’s chosen risk profile.
With £200m FuM and contracts in place for additional £100m the firm have an excellent fund base for growth. With 7 IFA’s across a wide geographical patch and ability to recruit new advisers to meet the demands of acquisitions, clients will continue to receive high-quality ongoing servicing. Adviser charges can range from 0.5% to1% dependent on the servicing structure that best suits the client’s needs.
