Christi Elkins
Associate Wealth Specialist
Strategy is Christi's young love. Film and Storytelling are Christi's first love. Finance and Technology? Well, we believe he's married to Finance and Technology with no option for divorce. And he specialises in Protection.
But he doesn't like to talk about himself because his Dad said, "Never talk yourself up – other people will do it for you." As you can see, he comes from good British stock.
Think 1990s, Manchester, little picket fence, three little boys are playing happily in their bedroom, one barely old enough to walk. Minutes later, their Mum walks in and chastises the older boys for allowing said toddler out of his cot. Which had a latch. And was fairly complicated to open. That the older boys had NOT opened. Christi had strategised... and let himself out, managing to climb-crawl out of his cot to play with his brothers.
At the age of seven, he was acing his first strategy game, “Risk”, regularly besting his uncles who would hand over their pieces and grumble curses under their breath. He went on to master "Command & Conquer", "Age of Empires", and too many others to mention.
Fast-forward to eight years of film contracted by companies we know and love like the BBC, ITV, Amazon, ABC and Netflix; working on TV & films we know and love like Macbeth, Coronation Street, Peaky Blinders, The Dark Crystal, Prehistoric Planet and too many others to mention.
We've ventured into the very makings of Christi's brain because it matters so much in how he strategises for his clients. The love for strategy games and puzzle-solving have honed his decision-making skills and creative mindset, essential for navigating complex scenarios and offering innovative solutions in safeguarding his clients' financial well-being. The passion for film and storytelling has interconnected the tempo and reality of life, the ups and downs, risk and reward, resource management and adaptability to change, integral for specialising in protection.
You cannot talk to Christi without hearing a point of view you’ve never heard before - his interests are vast and varied from AI to crypto to space to history, his finger always on the pulse. Some may call him out-of-the-box or off-the-wall, we call him genius.
Guided by Christi's expertise in protection, your financial journey is set to sail on an exceptional journey, seamlessly intertwining exclusivity with prosperity, crafting a tailored financial experience that echoes the sophistication found in mastering risk and strategy, solving intricate puzzles, delving into the art of storytelling, and navigating finance with excellence.
