About us

Established in 2000, Fisher Investments UK is a privately owned discretionary investment advisor, managing money for institutions and high-net-worth individual investors. Fisher Investments UK is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fisher Investments which maintains two principal business units, Fisher Investments Institutional Group and Fisher Investments Private Client Group, both serve a global client base of diverse investors.

At Fisher, we work for a bigger purpose: bettering the investment universe. Putting the service back in financial services is our calling, our mission, the reason we exist. For us, there is nothing more important than helping our clients reach their financial goals. We’re devoted to continuous learning, constantly exploring new ways to adapt and evolve, all so we can deliver more for our clients. This commitment has shaped every aspect of our business, and it’s the main reason why our employees love coming to work every day: We’re driven by better.

What defines us

Year after year, employees stay with Fisher because they have the opportunity to grow and improve. This is a place where people can make a difference, develop new skills, enjoy lifelong careers and be continually challenged.

Our open office environment fosters collaboration, peer mentorship and information sharing. We provide people with the tools and resources they need to pursue professional growth throughout their Fisher careers, as evidenced by the large number of internal rotations and promotions.

Unlike most other companies, Fisher has open career paths; where an employee goes next in the firm is up to them. We offer information sessions on various roles and departments, mentorship and programmes, internal career fairs, career coaching, internal talent advising and more.

Our award-winning learning and development programmes are another reason we’ve been recognised as a great place to work. Honoured by The Association for Talent Development and Training magazine, our customised programmes support each employees’ career journey and path to success. Offerings include extensive in-house training, customised instructor-led courses, an online Learning Centre with access to thousands of on-demand classes via LinkedIn learning and coaching from industry experts.

At Fisher, rewards are much more than just a paycheck. We offer a Total Rewards framework including competitive compensation, world-class benefits, convenient perks, performance-based recognition, and a culture employees can be proud of.

What inspires us

Camaraderie and teamwork are an important part of our Fisher culture, and our energetic employees inspire a fun and engaging work environment. Our dedicated employees drive our firm’s success, and we take pride in creating a culture of recognition that celebrates their wins, big and small. Recognition is encouraged year-round with a variety of appreciation events and recognition efforts.

Employees are welcome to send peer-to-peer recognition through our online platform and nominate their colleagues for a variety of awards. C.O.R.E. (Celebrating Our Remarkable Employees) Awards are the firm’s top honour, recognising those who embody the firm’s values and go above and beyond what is expected in their role.

At Fisher, we enjoy celebrating our employees’ successes! We host annual off-site employee appreciation events, milestone celebrations, and quarterly on-site appreciation day events such as ice cream socials and coffee stations. To add to the fun, employees also participate in smaller-scale department-specific activities such as award ceremonies, birthday and anniversary celebrations, and team bonding events.

Application tips

We hire ambitious self-starters who believe in our mission, not those who simply fit the investment firm "type." We seek those who aren’t afraid to try something different and are open to considering new processes and approaches. That’s why we hire people from different backgrounds, with different points of view.

To help us determine if a candidate is a good match for our culture, we assess several core organisational competencies during the interview process. These include client focus, instills trust, drive for results, and communicates effectively. Having strength in these areas, as well as the motivation to grow and learn, is important for success in any role at Fisher.

Once hired, we encourage individuals to define their own career paths; starting off in sales for example, doesn't mean you have to stay in sales. All employees have the opportunity to build their skills, explore new opportunities, and grow rewarding Fisher careers based on their abilities, interests and the needs of the organisation.
