It was partly this attitude and care for clients that attracted Vayani to Quilter Cheviot.
In recent years, companies have been increasingly focusing on what they need to do to attract and retain young talent in the industry.
According to data released by the Financial Conduct Authority last year, just 5.7 per cent of retail investment advisers in the UK are under 30 years of age.
Getting Gen-Z on board
At 25 years old and in the early stages of his career, Vayani believes the key to attracting young people to a company is creating a culture that people want to be a part of.
"For me, I look at my own values and then I find a company that fits that. I wouldn't want to go into a company where I would have to adjust my values.
"The things that were most important for me were getting support on developing skills and my career long-term."
Vayani believes that it isn't just diversity of age that the industry needs to improve on, but that there is more work to be done to make the sector better representative of society as a whole more generally.
"We live in England, it's a diverse and globalised world.
"More can definitely be done and I think the best way to tap into that is to recognise there are gaps in the market.
"For example, in Quilter we now have an Islamic finance department. That's amazing because it's tapping into a whole different market that we didn't have previously.
"There are children who come from an Islamic finance heritage who can look at Quilter and think 'well this is something we can learn from' and maybe one of these children will get inspired and will want to work in finance.
"So it's about tapping into markets where there are gaps and when you are in such a diverse city and country there's no reason not to.
"It's better for the company and the economy."
