Forth Capital, which identifies itself as an “independent investment boutique”, has a specific focus on QROPS and the company is licensed by the OARG in Switzerland.
Most of its advisers are UK qualified, however Brown has more than 25 years of international experience in all aspects of financial services in Asia, the Middle East and Europe, according to the company.
In addition to having the UK regulator’s RDR benchmark level four qualifications, Brown has licences with Hong Kong’s Securities & Futures Commission and the Confederation of Insurance Brokers.
Brown said he wanted to replicate Forth Capital’s existing business model in Hong Kong, with plans to hire a number of very experienced advisers, particularly from the UK: “I have worked in Hong Kong since 1989 and feel the time is right to bring the professionalism of experienced UK financial advisers into the Hong Kong market,” he said.
Chief executive and founder of Forth Capital, Tom Tracy, said Brown had experience in investment, management, sales, licensing and distribution.
