Bucking the trend: Paradigm Norton reveals half of its financial planners are women

The firm, which has offices in Bristol, London and Torquay, said 41 out of 71 team members - or partners in employee ownership speak - are female, while half of its financial planners are women.

Several of those women have joined Paradigm Norton through its graduate training programme, which sees one trainee each year taken on to join the next generation of financial planners.

The firm has said it "actively" supports change in the sector to address systematic imbalances and is contributing to the 'Are you in?' movement, which aims to change the course of the wealth management profession. 

Paradigm Norton client director for the London office Ruth Sturkey said: "By recruiting talented women, the firm benefits from the huge female talent pool that so many companies miss out on. It is a delight to be part of a firm that is leading the way for the profession."

Paradigm Norton CEO Barry Horner said it is important to the firm that it nurtures talent from as wide and diverse a team as possible, adding: "We are extremely proud to be known as a firm that appeals to a range of financial planners because of our balance in age and gender alongside our values focused approach to financial planning."
