Simon Brown

Job Titles:
  • Partner
  • Partner, Chartered Financial Planner, Certified Wealth Mentor -
Michael invited me to join him in 1988. We act as fiduciary advisors to individuals, couples and families. The word fiduciary means trusted financial advisor, one that always puts the clients needs first. Within BpH internally we interpret this as treating clients and our team like family. This has resulted in clients that have been with us for many decades. It has also resulted in a team that genuinely cares about the clients they deal with, and some of the team have been with us ten, twenty or even thirty years. Hello I'm Simon Brown, a partner here at BpH Wealth. In many way the evolution of BpH has been informed by global best practice. We are never complacent and are constantly looking to improve our services by sharing and collaborating with our peers. I have met quarterly with five other UK advice firms for the last ten years, and so when the opportunity came to help set up something similar on a global basis through the founding of the Global Association of Independent Advisors (GAIA) It was natural for us to to become involved at the start.
