Are you a Financial Advisor based within the city of London with a small number of HNW or UHNW clients looking to retire and want your clients to be serviced by a directly authorised city based IFA?

Sell and retire

This option would suit Financial Advisors considering retirement and would like to sell to an Adviser with the gravitas of advising larger/more sophisticated HNW clients

Would consider a long earn out over 5 years or deferred purchase over 2 years with upfront payment followed by payments at the end of year 1 and 2.

Acquisition Deal Value

Will pay up to 4 times recurring income.

This is ideal for Financial Advisors based in London or South East who:

  • Only have a small number of HNW clients
  • Ideal portfolio size is up to £40m (would consider acquiring clients from a segmentation exercise)
  • Want a directly authorised firm with open architecture

The Company

Being directly authorised the firm has open architecture and helps clients with creating bespoke portfolios or utilising DFM’s model portfolio service. The firm have prestigious offices in the city of London. The business owner was previously involved in fund management as a Private Banker and Investment Adviser of a leading Fund Manager.
