Stephen J F Hill

With more than four decades of experience in financial services, I have advised individuals, families, and business owners across Northern Ireland, helping them make informed financial decisions and plan confidently for the future.

I began my career with Hill Samuel in London in 1985, gaining valuable experience in the financial services sector before returning to Northern Ireland and establishing S Hill & Co. I later became Firm Principal of Ferguson Hill Asset Management, where I continued to develop long-standing client relationships and provide advice across a broad range of financial planning needs.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with high-net-worth individuals, families, business owners, solicitors, and accountants, providing advice on wealth management and preservation, retirement planning, and wider financial matters. I also work closely with solicitors, accountants, and other professional advisers on behalf of shared clients, helping to ensure that financial planning is considered alongside their wider legal, tax and business affairs.

My approach is centred on taking the time to understand what matters most to each client and providing clear, straightforward, and practical advice. I believe strong financial planning is built on trust, consistency and a genuine understanding of each client’s circumstances, priorities, and longer-term objectives.

As part of Fairstone, I continue to provide the personal service and continuity that have been central to my approach throughout my career, while also drawing on the wider resources, specialist expertise, and capabilities available across the Group.
