      As a UK FTSE 100 company with over £85 billion of client funds under management, the St. James’s Place Wealth Management Group specialises in the provision of face-to-face wealth management advice to individuals, trustees and businesses. We provide advice to clients based on their individual needs and circumstances, adapting our advice as requirements change over time to ensure that recommendations remain appropriate. • What We DoOur relationship-based approach is greatly valued by our clients, no more so than in the current period of financial uncertainty. There is an increasing demand for trusted advice from experienced advisers backed by a strong organisation and brand. • What Makes Us Different?The relationships between Partners and clients endure because they are founded on mutual respect and trust, with the emphasis on building and maintaining a long-term relationship. The success of our approach can be seen from the fact that some 90% of new investments come from existing clients or from referrals and introductions from them. Once invested, clients tend to stay invested and we're extremely pleased with the consistent, year on year retention of funds under management of over 95%.
