Our Foundation Stone
Edington Advisors takes its name from the Battle of Edington in 878 AD, where King Alfred halted the Viking advance in England. But Alfred was more than a warrior. He was a visionary leader – founding schools, promoting the arts, reforming the legal system, and building fortified towns to protect and strengthen his Kingdom.
We aspire to Alfred’s example.
​
The Vikings of today wear different faces – uncertainty, complexity, change – but the need for wise stewardship remains. In a world of constant change, Edington Advisors helps clients make sense of their wealth—what it stands for, what it can do, and how to share that vision with those who matter most.
