By GlobalDataFuelling growth through downstream buy-out model
Fairstone has carried out several acquisitions through its downstream buy-out model.
Under this model, the company typically purchases a stake in the to-be acquired firm, in order to integrate it over a two-year period, before the final takeover.
Fairstone’s ongoing buying spree
Last week, Fairstone acquired South Wales-based UskVale Financial Planning, which specialises in the management of investment and retirement portfolios.
It also snapped up Berkshire-based advice firm Chiltern House, and Lincolnshire-based MT Financial Management recently.
It followed the company’s previous acquisition of two advice firms in the UK that added £215m in FUM to its books.
In January this year, Fairstone bought Hamlyn Financial Services and Wagstaffs Wealth Management.
