I want to pursue a masters in finance and investment from UK but I am confused among the universities like Exeter, Surrey and Leeds. What could be the better option among them or other than these universities to pursue masters in finance?

Going to be harsh but frankly you’d be better off not doing a masters than doing a masters at one of these universities. At the postgraduate level it has to be at the bare minimum Kings or Cass and anything less than that you’ll find it extremely hard to recruit (even from the two universities I listed you will find it hard). Save your money but if not then I suppose Exeter would be the best out of the 3.
They are all terrible. Only ones worth the money in the UK are LBS, LSE, Oxford or Imperial
I am not aware of how the UK University system works. However, I will say that the CFA could be an opportunity worth looking into for a cheaper cost (if it is relevant to your career goals). It's certainly more affordable than a Master's in economics.
