The wealth management industry continues to evolve at pace. New entrants, consolidators, and technology are reshaping the sector, while client expectations grow more complex and regulatory requirements more demanding. In this environment, finding the right talent is no longer simply about filling a vacancy—it’s about shaping the future of your business. At Fram Search, we believe our reputation as one of the best wealth management recruiters in the UK is built not on claims, but on results.

With a team that brings nearly 40 years of combined experience, we’ve earned our place as a trusted name in the industry. Our consultants understand the nuances of the sector, from how firms acquire clients to how technology and regulation are impacting operations and profitability. We know the difference between a good paraplanner and a great one. We understand how investment managers build books, what qualifications matter, which systems firms use, and the strategic issues practice leaders face in a market undergoing consolidation.

We are proud to have placed individuals from administrator to board level. From CEOs and CFOs through to practice managers and paraplanners, we have worked with firms across every region of the UK. Our clients range from national consolidators to regional boutiques, and we have long-standing relationships with many of the venture capital, private equity, and family office investors funding growth in the industry. This gives us a deep understanding of the evolving ownership structures shaping the future of advice.

Perhaps most notably, we are one of the few recruitment firms to have successfully managed full team moves of investment managers. These are complex, delicate assignments, and they demonstrate both the trust our clients place in us and our understanding of how important culture, client transition, and discretion are to a successful outcome.

In an industry where experience counts, so too does service. Our clients consistently rate us highly for our market insight, attention to detail, and the way we consult. We know that wealth management is changing, and we act as genuine partners to our clients, advising on everything from salary benchmarking to team structure, practice management, and how AI might affect future hiring. We don’t just submit CVs; we bring perspective.

London remains a vital hub, and our knowledge of the capital’s market is extensive. But our reach goes far beyond. Whether you’re based in Manchester or the Midlands, Scotland or the South West, we have the networks, insight, and experience to help. That national capability is built on years of speaking to candidates and clients across the country, understanding local dynamics as well as broader trends. It’s this consistency that has made us one of the best wealth management recruiters in London and beyond.

We also pride ourselves on filling the roles others struggle with. Many of our clients come to us after unsuccessful attempts to hire in-house. Paraplanners are a perfect example. It’s a candidate-short market, but we know how to engage with professionals in these roles, and we speak to them daily. We understand what motivates them, how to approach them, and how to present opportunities in a way that resonates.

Whether you’re an acquiring firm looking to build a new regional hub, a boutique seeking your first CFO, or a growing advice firm in need of a strong compliance partner, we’re here to help. Wealth management is a relationship business, and so is recruitment. When you work with Fram Search, you get the benefit of our network, our experience, and our reputation in the market.

We track acquisition valuations, monitor key industry moves, and are always in touch with the people shaping the future of the sector. It’s this blend of market intelligence and hands-on recruitment expertise that helps our clients not only hire well—but stay ahead.

If you’re looking for a recruitment partner who truly understands wealth management, we’d be delighted to speak.
