CAREER SUMMARY:

October 2017 - date Adviser/Partner at Capital Planning Partners St James's Place

I have full CF30 status with the extension to conduct advice on DB Transfers and all aspects of pension, investment, protection and care provision for my clients and prospects. I look after a number of companies and their auto-enrolment schemes as well as having around £10m-£12m of client assets under advice. The majority of my personal clients are aged over 70 with extensive investment portfolios and concerns around their tax, legacy and care issues. I have built my prospect list and client bank through introductions, recommendations and through my personal contact network.

When dealing with most clients, investment counselling sits at the core of most discussions along with guidance and advice on tax and wrapper choice and ultimately delivering holistic advice to achieve the best outcome for them.
