At a glance

  • Qualified Financial Adviser with over 15 years in the industry
  • The Founder of the Eman Effect, Partner at Belvedere Wealth Management
  • Advocate for social mobility through financial education and lived experience
Emmanuel Asuquo is a sought-after financial adviser, author, and broadcaster who brings lived experience and professional expertise to the conversation on financial empowerment and social mobility. A familiar face on Channel 4, ITV, and BBC Radio, Emmanuel’s engaging style and relatable insights have made him one of the UK’s most trusted money voices. Raised on a council estate in East London, Emmanuel’s journey from economic hardship to becoming the country's youngest financial adviser at Barclays is remarkable. With no academic advantage, four GCSES and a third-class degree, he defied expectations, building a career in the City and eventually founding The Eman Effect and co-owning Belvedere Wealth Management. His story is inspiring and proves that background need not define your future. Through his keynote talks and media appearances, Emmanuel tackles the structural and cultural barriers that hold talent back. He speaks directly to underrepresented communities and businesses looking to unlock potential in diverse teams. Drawing on his experiences of redundancy, resilience, and reinvention, Emmanuel helps audiences rethink what success looks like and how to build it from the ground up. With clients ranging from schools to corporations to government-backed initiatives, Emmanuel blends practical financial advice with a powerful message of possibility. He is an ambassador for My Bnk, the Prince’s Trust, and the NSPCC, and the author of the bestselling Get Your Money Right, which simplifies finance for everyday people. Teams leave his sessions energised, informed, and with a renewed sense of purpose. Whether you’re looking to support social mobility, improve financial literacy, or spark cultural change, Emmanuel delivers. Book Emmanuel to bring real talk, real insight, and real impact to your next event.
