Spotlight on... our London office
Our London office opened in 2008 and has been going from
strength to strength.
Launched to satisfy the demand from UK high net worth resident
individuals for our innovative client-focused offering, our London
office has managed to succeed in what is a highly competitive
market.
With our UK competitors focused on sterling-only portfolios and
the industry tarnished by stories of poor service quality, we can
provide a refreshingly different type of offering for
intermediaries and private clients alike. For example, if an
intermediary requests that their clients should not be cross-sold
to or marketed to by us, we can assure that this will not
happen.
Our banking and investment services are all available through
the London office, and include:
- wealth
management services. We work with family offices, trust and
pension companies and professional intermediaries to find a
suitable solution for each client including discretionary
investment management services. In preparation for the UK Retail
Distribution Review, many adviser businesses may opt to delegate
the management of their client assets to external discretionary
investment management service managers, such as Fairbairn Private
Bank. We have been working closely with adviser businesses and
their clients for many years, and are ideally placed to adapt to
the changing requirements and the ever-increasing sophistication in
the asset management arena.
- our flagship combined banking and investment platform, Focus.
Focus combines a range of private banking services to create a
fully integrated banking and investment management solution,
allowing you to design an account that suits your clients' specific
requirements.
- bespoke lending
facilities. We offer a comprehensive and competitive range of
borrowing solutions for various uses, eg, property purchases,
leveraging and tax structuring. Finance is ordinarily secured
against a range of assets, including investment holdings and
property and, because the requirements of each investor are unique,
we consider each case individually.
- SIPP structures can
be arranged through our Focus platform, in conjunction with
specialist pension providers in the UK. The main advantage of
including SIPPs within our Focus platform is that you can save time
and simplify your administration. By investing with Fairbairn
Private Bank you have the option of self-managing your clients'
SIPPs or employing our discretionary investment management service
allowing us to manage the assets in the SIPP.

Wealth. Carlo joins as a personal banker following a 10 year career
