Our Practice approach

Putting you in control

Financial planning is for everyone; whether you want to start investing, are looking to save for your first home, or plan for your retirement. Our aim is to empower you with the knowledge and tools you need to make better financial decisions that give you peace of mind.

The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds you select and the value can therefore go down as well as up.  You may get back less than you invested.

Personalised service

We get to know you, and your hopes and plans for the future to enable us to provide a personalised solution to help you achieve your financial goals.

As your life moves on and circumstances change, we are always available to support and review your position and adapt your plans accordingly.

For our business owner clients and senior directors, we really analyse your business to understand your needs. Effective planning is key, especially as your business grows and the finances start to become increasingly complex.

We can help you put the right plans in place that will help to build your financial security over the longer term. Running a business can be stressful. Allow us to help with our range of services designed for the corporate world.
