I am an investment professional, who has worked in the financial services industry for over 30 years. I am a Chartered Financial Planner with a strong background in investment and retirement planning. This helps me to provide holistic advice to individuals, families and business owners across many industries, as I am passionate about helping people to achieve their financial life goals and aspirations. My emphasis is on building strong, trusting, long term relationships with my clients, and to make sure they are well placed in an ever evolving financial landscape and to help clients on every step of life's journey. 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. An investment in equities does not provide the security of capital associated with a deposit account with a bank or building society. The levels and bases of taxation and reliefs from taxation can change at any time. The value of any tax relief depends on individual circumstances. Auto-Enrolment products are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. This Partner/Partner Practice is an Appointed Representative of and represents only St. James's Place Wealth Management Plc (which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority) for the purpose of advising solely on the Group's wealth management products and services, more details of which are set out on the Group's website at www.sjp.co.uk/products. The ‘St. James’s Place Partnership’ and titles ‘Partner’ and ‘Partner Practice’ are marketing terms used to describe St. James’s Place representatives. SJP Approved xx/xx/xxxx
