The adviser who in 2016 became at the age of 22 the youngest ever fellow of the Personal Finance Society is joining Mercer Jelf Financial Planning.
Vito Faircloth is joining Mercer Jelf from Investment Quorum where he worked as a wealth manager. Prior to that he worked at Attivo Financial Planning where he was an employee benefits consultant and eventually leading the corporate advice proposition.
He will be based in the Bristol office and his role will include providing financial advice to retained wealth clients, developing the profile and growth of the financial planning business across the South of the UK and helping the business develop their digital advice proposition.
Mercer Jelf Financial Planning head of financial planning Grant Hughes says: “I’m really pleased that Vito has joined Mercer Jelf Financial Planning as we continue to develop our business. We are always keen to attract and retain top talent. As the youngest fellowship adviser in the country he will strengthen our advisory team whilst offering a different perspective into the business. I’m sure that Vito will also become a fantastic mentor within the business as we continue to develop the next generation of talent.”
Faircloth says: “Mercer’s core principles and values are closely aligned to my own and not only am I excited by their current proposition, but I am also excited about their vision for the future of wealth management.”
