Killik & Co

Killik & Co is a British retail investment company and independent Partnership, providing advice on savings, planning and investment to retail investors through a network of branches in the UK. It is a significant player in the UK wealth management market,[1] managing assets on behalf of 27,000 clients.[2]

History

Killik & Co was founded in the late 1980s by entrepreneurs Paul Killik and Matthew Orr[3] to create a "new type of investment firm" that demystified equities and bonds as savings tools for retail investors.[4] Paul Killik was one of the first individuals to champion the concept of "equities for all",[5] founding Killik & Co originally as a stockbroking firm. It has since evolved into a full service Wealth Manager,[1] and is one of the few remaining independent Partnerships in the UK retail investing market following a wave of consolidation amongst European, Japanese and American investment banks in the late noughties.[6] The company is formatted "on traditional lines to provide a personal advisory service to clients from the day they first walk through the door",[7] so as to deliver savings and investment advice in a "less intimidating environment".[4]

Killik & Co is headquartered in Grosvenor Street, Mayfair, with 6 other branches across London including Hampstead, Chiswick and the City of London.[8]
