The EQi team

Richard Pearson
What are you responsible for?
“In a nutshell, I make sure that our customers’ money is safe, that all existing and new regulations are adhered to. But more than the letter of the law, I make sure that it is carried out in spirit too so that EQi does right by its customers that trust us to look after their savings and investments.
Why self-invest?
“I’ve seen a lot of changes over the last 30 years of financial services and I’ve a background as a financial adviser. The biggest changes, obviously, have been driven by the digital revolution. People access and use information; they expect to make decisions and want transparency. Self-investing is an extension of that hands-on approach and more people are happy to back themselves and manage their wealth.”
Tell us something about you we don’t know
“If anyone here is asked about me, pretty soon they will mention cakes. I really enjoy baking and bring cakes in for the team all the time. If I fail to bring them in after a while, questions are asked.”
