Baker Young Stockbrokers

We are not traders or speculators and do not offer strategies for either approach. In the late ’70s, Dick founded Young Research & Publishing to publish Young’s World Money Forecast, a 50-page monthly report for institutional investors, corporate financial officers, business owners, and individual international investors. Perhaps retirement income is your goal, or maybe you are looking to scale down portfolio risk. Young & Co., Ltd., is a fee-only financial advisor. Our advice is free of some of the conflicts of interest that may plague commission-based brokers and large Wall Street firms with securities to distribute. And while diversification is a cornerstone of our investment strategy, we don’t believe in over-diversification as practiced by the massive index funds. These include, but are not limited to, commissions, bid/ask spreads, transaction fees, redemption and short-term trading fees, and account maintenance fees. Young & Co., Ltd., we are committed to helping our clients achieve long-term investment success with comfort.

We are analytical, innovative, and strategic and have always invested alongside our clients. Our key area of expertise is the living sector. We offer the knowledge to help grow your idea. David is a Fellow Chartered Management Accountant and spent the 90s in various financial operational and customer focused roles at British Airways.

Innovating and delivering service excellence resulted in multiple industry awards. David is passionate about building long term relationships, innovation and creating value in businesses – resulting in sustainable wealth creation for business owners and investor clients.
