Why Oculus?
The founding directors have decades of experience in the financial advice sector, having previously built a national IFA network and successfully completed numerous mergers and acquisitions.
Business management, corporate governance and significant regulatory knowledge, lay the foundations on which the Oculus network is built upon.
Our advisers come from all backgrounds and each have their own goals and aspirations for their business. Whether you are a small firm looking for a planned exit, an employed adviser making the first step in establishing your own business, or a self-employed adviser seeking the support of a larger group of like-minded advisers, Oculus could be the next step in your journey.
Here is what our external auditors had to say...
There is a noticeable culture in Oculus Wealth Management to adhere to high standards, not only those set by the FCA, in some areas higher standards are imposed on themselves and the appointed representative firms.
The precedent set by Oculus is rarely seen in medium sized intermediary businesses, and often not seen in larger networks. The management in particular show a determination to encourage good business practice, treat customers fairly and be open with staff.
Overall the assessment outcome indicated that the firm has rigorous controls in place to allow it to manage risk effectively. These controls are backed by processes that support the output of meaningful and valid management information.
