About Us
I’m Martin, a Chartered, independent financial adviser, and I’ve been rated a VouchedFor Top Rated Adviser every year since 2021.
There’s no hard sell here. I’d rather take the time to make sure you’re comfortable with every decision, however many conversations that takes. Most of my advice is done by video call, phone or email, which keeps things easy for you. And yes, occasionally over a coffee in Wimbledon or Farnham.
I give independent advice on pensions, investments, mortgages, retirement planning and inheritance tax planning, tailored to your needs.
Compton Financial IFA works as part of a larger group, which recently celebrated its 15th year in business. We’re a whole of market firm.
New Leaf, the group I’m part of, has 130 IFAs and £2 billion under management, so I have access to a huge breadth of knowledge and a wide range of financial providers.
I spent over 15 years working in asset management, investment banking, and hedge funds across London and New York. This experience, coupled with astute investments, granted me the privilege of an early retirement.
My initial venture into this business was purely personal – a platform to manage my own properties and investments. But as I began assisting friends and family, and then their friends, it became evident: there was a significant gap in the market.
Many were missing out on the kind of comprehensive financial advice that I’d come to expect in my professional life.
This realisation made me want to start the business and provide people this level of service. Today, my passion is to simplify the complexities of finance for people, providing clear insights and guidance to help secure your future and that of your loved ones.
Outside of advising I love living life to the full and keeping my family smiling – whether that’s out with my dogs Max and Looney Leo running beside me in the woods or surprising my mum by taking her to lunch with my brother by helicopter…
I may have forgotten to tell her that I fly helicopters.
I thoroughly enjoy my hobbies. You may find me out walking my dogs, or even mountain biking with them in the woods, in Wimbledon or Farnham.
We’re not your usual financial advisers. If you’d like a chat, book an initial meeting by video call. There’s no cost for my recommendations; you only pay if you’d like me to put them in place.
