About Us

Fairey Associates was established by Ed Fairey, a Chartered Financial Planner, in 2008 and has grown from its small beginnings in London to being a leading boutique regional firm.

 

We currently cover London, East Anglia and the South East – but with clients scattered throughout the UK.

 

The team have a passion for simplifying what is indeed complex, and take satisfaction from helping families and businesses make the right financial and life decisions. We work hard with clients to create a plan that will help them live a life free from financial worry. Through our Enhanced Service we are there to guide clients through life’s inevitable ups and downs.

 

Fairey Associates currently advises on £450m* of pensions and investments on an entirely independent, whole of market basis. We provide professional, holistic financial advice to a range of clients. Please be aware that the value of your investments can go down as well as up, so you could get back less than you invested.

 

We are, and will remain, fastidiously independent in order to consistently provide clients with our very best advice.

What Our Clients Say

We are currently open to talk with Diploma or Chartered Financial Advisers who can help further develop the reputation and professionalism that Fairey Associates is built upon. To have an informal, confidential discussion please contact us on 0345 319 0005 or apply through our contact form.

How To Become a Fairey Associates Client

You can send us a letter, give us a call or complete our Discovery Meeting form – whichever is most convenient. From here, we will contact you and arrange an initial phone call with one of our Financial Advisers.

 

We have detailed below the process of becoming a Fairey Associates client, so that you know what to expect.

Initial phone call

This conversation will establish to see if we are best suited to help with your financial planning needs. The Adviser will ask questions to clarify our understanding of your current situation. There will be an explanation of how we go about gathering the necessary information needed to assist you with making the correct financial decisions.

 

Assuming you like what you hear, and we feel we can “add value” and not waste your time, we can arrange an initial meeting, usually at one of our offices, for a mutually agreeable time.

 

This first meeting is often referred to as a “Discovery Meeting”.

Preparing for your first Discovery Meeting

We will confirm the time and date of your discovery meeting by email. This email will also include a list of relevant documents we require you to gather in preparation. The more relevant documents you can bring, the more effective the meeting will be. If you are ever in doubt about what to bring, our office is only a phonecall away and our staff will always be more than willing to help in any way they can.

The Discovery Meeting

As a company, we value our relationships with our clients above all else. The discovery meeting will be an opportunity for both parties to break the ice and for you to find out what Fairey Associates stands for as a business. After these initial introductions, we can start the discovery element. We will lead the meeting and discuss your financial requirements, aspirations and plans for the future. We will also explore your risk tolerances in some detail (“attitude to risk”) and your full financial and family situation (often called a “fact find”). As we go through the meeting we’ll also refer to the documentation you compiled before the meeting.

 

We will also cover our fees, our credentials and answer any further questions you may have.

 

If we both like what we see and hear, and want to go to the next stage, we’ll seek your approval to be appointed as your wealth manager. That means you instruct us to begin work on preparing your personal plan to address your stated objectives and our agreed areas from this meeting.

Our Offices

Our advisers will make every effort to see our clients wherever is best for them; at whatever time. Of course, we prefer to meet at our offices during business hours where we can give the best possible service; but we know that is not always possible for you. Be assured though, as our advisers have secure “offices in the cloud”, no matter where they are in the world they can securely access everything they need to provide a professional service, for you.

 

Our clients want a personal relationship, so we’ve built a network of offices across the South of England and East Anglia. Our offices range in scale and character and through the Regus network we have access to a meeting room near you.
