We are delighted to share that Craven Street Wealth has completed the acquisition of another highly respected Independent Chartered Financial Planning firm, Pharon Independent Financial Advisers.

This marks another important milestone in our long-term strategy to strengthen both the breadth and depth of our advice, uniting two of the UK’s most respected independent advisory businesses.

 Two leading firms coming together

Pharon and Craven Street Wealth share much in common, including a proud record of industry recognition, with both firms once again listed within the top 20 of the Financial Times FT Adviser 100 ranking for 2025.

Founded in 1973, Pharon is one of the South East’s longest-established financial planning firms, renowned for delivering high-quality, personalised advice. Like Craven Street Wealth, it holds Chartered status – a mark of professional distinction, with advisers and support teams demonstrating the same depth of expertise and client commitment that we know our clients value.

By combining, we strengthen our presence across the South, particularly within Kent, truly establishing Craven Street Wealth as the region’s leading independent firm. Together we now support around 5,800 clients, and with the wider scale and resources of the Quanta Group, we are well-positioned to continue investing in our people, technology, and investment proposition, ensuring we remain at the forefront of an evolving financial services industry, delivering the best possible outcomes for our clients.

Over the coming months, Pharon will integrate fully with Craven Street Wealth. Pharon’s leadership team will also join our Management Team structure, further enhancing our collective experience.

 Continuity and commitment
While our scale and capabilities continue to grow, our core commitment remains unchanged, in delivering independent, expert advice, with clients and long-term relationships at the heart of everything we do.
