Our Foundation & Legacy

Remembering Our Founder, Elliot Deccan

1964-2017

The inception of Deccan Wealth was driven by Elliot Deccan’s innovative vision for a new paradigm in wealth management—where the focus extends beyond financial stewardship to encompass the preservation of family legacies and values. Deccan’s foundational philosophy was about safeguarding wealth and enriching the familial and societal fabric it supports.
With an illustrious career marked by both wisdom and foresight, Deccan was adept at creating meaningful, lasting relationships. Deccan’s career began at Lehman Brothers as an Equity Research Analyst, where he was immersed in the dynamics of global markets and investment strategies. It was here that he honed his skills in analysing significant market trends and identifying sustainable investment opportunities. This early exposure to the world of finance combined with the valuable lessons learned from the Lehman Brothers’ demise underscored the importance of sustainable wealth management and the need to adapt to shifting economic landscapes.  He instilled a culture of trust, respect and integrity within our firm, prioritising the personal over the transactional. This ethos remains the bedrock of our approach, guiding our mission to serve families with unparalleled dedication and insight.

Beyond his professional excellence, Deccan’s contributions to our community were profound. He was a mentor and philanthropist committed to leveraging success for the broader good. His belief in the power of impactful giving has left an indelible mark, inspiring a legacy of generosity and engagement that continues to influence our firm’s direction and values.

As Deccan Wealth evolves, we are mindful of the principles and aspirations Deccan championed. Our commitment to upholding his legacy of excellence and integrity is unwavering. It is with pride and respect that we continue his work, honouring his vision and impact with every family we serve.

In remembering Elliot Deccan, we reflect on more than the firm he established; we celebrate a legacy of visionary leadership and profound humanity that continues to inspire and guide us. His enduring influence is a beacon for Deccan Wealth, illuminating our path as we strive to fulfill the noble mission he set forth.
