About
Inflexion backed the launch of Absolute Financial Group (“Absolute”), a new independent financial advice consolidator with £100m of committed funding.
Absolute aims to become one of the UK’s leading Independent Financial Planning firms by bringing together high-quality advisory businesses under a unified, well-resourced structure that supports advisers and delivers excellent client outcomes. Its first acquisition, Absolute Financial Management, a South East based firm with £1.1 billion in Assets Under Advice, became the group’s lead brand and central hub, with a model that avoids the vertical integration and loss of independence seen in many other consolidators.
Value acceleration
Inflexion’s investment is supporting Absolute to become a national leader through an ambitious buy-and-build strategy, creating a network of regional hubs by acquiring high quality, independently minded advisory firms across the UK. Working alongside the management team and Non Executive Chair Paul Hogarth, Inflexion will help build a scalable central platform and digital infrastructure that streamlines client journeys, enhances adviser productivity and supports sustainable long-term growth. Absolute’s journey draws on Inflexion’s relevant experience in building up Succession into the UK’s largest independent wealth manager through 60 acquisitions before being sold to Aviva plc in 2022.
