What a financial adviser can do for you.

£47,706 better off

The financial benefits of taking advice are well documented. Research undertaken by the International Longevity Centre UK (ILC) in 2019 showed that those who take advice are on average £47,706 better off in retirement (in pensions and financial assets) than those who don’t.

What a financial adviser can do for you.

Achieve long-term goals

Research shows that those who take advice are more confident that they will achieve their  long-term goals and, through their interactions with an adviser, feel more financially literate and able to understand how their goals will be achieved – as well as more empowered to make complex financial decisions for themselves.

Your questions

What to expect from your first meeting

Putting clients at the heart of everything we do is core to our culture and enables us to work together to run a genuinely client-focused business. We recognise that everyone’s financial journey is different, that is why our approach to financial and investment planning is based on individual goals.

During your first meeting with your financial adviser, you will be asked a number of questions about your family, lifestyle, finances and personal goals so that we can gain a better understanding of your life and thoroughly assess your current financial situation.  

Our adviser will consider your individual circumstances, range of assets and short- and long-term goals before putting together a financial plan to help you achieve these. The adviser will discuss the charges associated – which are a percentage of the amount invested -  and will talk you through the St. James’s Place Advice Guarantee: we guarantee the suitability of the advice given by members of the St. James’s Place Partnership when recommending any of the wealth management products and services available from companies in the group, more details of which are set out on the group’s website at www.sjp.co.uk/products.

Your first meeting is just the beginning of an ongoing relationship and process. Once you decide to work with a St. James’s Place adviser, you can expect ongoing personal financial advice based on your goals and needs with regular meetings to review your goals, progress and investments.


Do I have to proceed with the advice given?

There is no obligation to proceed with the plan presented by the St. James's Place adviser.

How will the appointment take place?

Our advisers can meet with you in person* at your home, place of work or at their office. Alternatively, we can conduct meetings over the phone and virtually through video conferencing.

*Subject to COVID guidance at the time of the meeting.

I’ve always been very, very satisfied with the advice they gave me and the return on your investments so to me they are number one!”
