Accountable, personal and independent advice of the highest quality
At QED we provide a tailored, Director led service, which enables our clients to make smart decisions about their money.
Our ongoing, initiative-taking service brings structure, maximises investment efficiency and delivers the “peace of mind” that comes with working with a trusted adviser.
The founder, Darren Baker, has over thirty years’ experience and has been involved in establishing, growing, and selling several successful businesses. This experience, together with that gained working with clients, means he understands the challenges people face juggling their own personal wealth and business interests.
Because people and circumstances change and the future is unpredictable, we build close and long-lasting relationships with our clients. We don’t offer one-off advice.
We create strategies for our clients that give them:
- Help in planning or maintaining a financially secure retirement
- Guidance so they avoid making financial mistakes
- Advice and support so they feel relaxed and secure about their financial future
- Ongoing management so they enjoy a successful investment experience
- Organisation, control, and simplicity
- Clarity, care, and confidence
At QED we will only ever accept a client into our comprehensive wealth management service where we feel that we can add significant value to their current financial situation.
OUR FEES
Our fees are always clear and agreed before any chargeable work is undertaken.
Our family has dealt with Darren for over 20 years, he has become a valued and trusted advisor. He offers strong and sound advice and explains everything in layman’s terms. Family businesses and investments are always delicate and can become quite emotive and controversial. Darren navigates his way through these discussions and listens to everyone’s concerns before offering sound solutions. He always follows through everything and does what he promises.
What Darren provides is a focus on a balanced portfolio, tuned to a level of risk tailored to your circumstances and objectives with investment funds that are not like vampires that drain away the value of your portfolio with high fees.
We chose Darren specifically because…we preferred his approach of minimising the internal “tax” of high management costs. He has paid us ample attention…His explanations are clear, at the right level of detail, and he has inspired confidence. He has managed to avoid swamping us with unnecessary paperwork and we have a straightforward view of our investments which we can call up on the web whenever we want, all in one place. I have no hesitation in recommending Darren.
Darren listens really well and takes the time to understand personal goals. His assessment of his clients attitude to risk is the best I have come across from an advisor and very thorough.
I was extremely worried about choosing an investment adviser, but having learnt more about QED’s service and having spoken to several existing clients, I felt confident QED were the right people for me.
When my wife and I needed proper professional advice we looked at other IFAs and realised that…Darren was so far ahead of them in terms of research, seriousness, management backup and probity.
