We advise, develop and scale financial services businesses — from start to exit.
Agentic Asset and Advisory works alongside brokerages, trading businesses and asset managers on the transactions, hires and regulatory decisions that shape their future, informed by three decades inside capital markets.
Talent Acquisition
Placing senior talent across financial services — and helping brokers, established or early-career, find the right next seat.
Business Development
Growing businesses, structuring partnerships and identifying acquisition opportunities across financial services.
Compliance
SM&CR, FCA engagement and the regulatory mechanics of financial services transactions.
A practice built inside the markets it advises.
Most advisory firms study financial markets from the outside. Agentic Asset and Advisory was built from within them — combining three decades of broking, desk leadership and ownership in equity derivatives and inter-dealer markets with the discipline of a dedicated advisory practice serving financial services more broadly. Our leadership has founded, scaled and sold IDB businesses, including Arian Financial LLP and, through it, Vantage Capital Markets, ahead of its acquisition by TP ICAP.
That experience shapes how the firm operates. Every engagement is led by a senior advisor and drawn on a network of specialist partners across search, transaction execution and regulatory work — practitioners who know how financial services businesses are actually valued, how talent moves between firms, and what regulators expect when both are in motion at once.
People are the business.
We identify, approach and place senior professionals who fit both the seat and the firm — and we work just as closely with the brokers themselves, established or early-career, looking for the right next move.

Growth, mapped by people who've built it.
Whether the goal is a new desk, a strategic partnership, or an eventual sale, we help firms plan and execute growth with the discipline of an operator, not just an advisor.
-
Business build-out strategy
Planning for new products, desks, coverage or markets, grounded in what has and hasn't worked in practice.

Identifying and running acquisitions, disposals and partnership structures, from first conversation to completion.

Adjacent-market opportunity review
Assessing opportunities beyond core broking — from technology platforms to related advisory verticals.
Regulation, treated as part of the deal.
Compliance questions rarely arrive on their own — they surface inside a hire, a sale or a dispute. We handle them as part of the same conversation, not a separate one.
-
SM&CR advisory
Practical guidance on Senior Manager functions, certification and conduct requirements, drawn from holding SMF1 and SMF27.
-

Preparation for and navigation of direct regulatory correspondence, notices and enquiries.
-
