A Sturgeon fish starts the size of a mustard seed, grows to 12 feet in length, weighs up to a tonne, lives for 100+ years – an amazing metaphor for growth. Sturgeon fish are bottom feeders, their cat-like whiskers taste their food before they bite, the ultimate due diligence. Sturgeon are one of the oldest fish species in the world, their evolution traceable to the early Triassic Period nearly 250 million years ago – remaining relatively unchanged since the earliest fossil records – we believe in long term authentic relationships. Until 2003, the Appointed Representative concept was used by IFAs and Insurance companies to promote their products to Ordinary Retail Clients only. Sturgeon pioneered the use of the Wholesale Appointed Representative. What sets us apart?
