I feel really lucky to have worked with Nick over the last ten plus years. Not only have my investments performed really well, but he has always been happy to adapt to my changing needs to ensure that my financial planning is realistic and relevant.

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.
Nick is exceptional. Incredibly knowledgeable and takes time to understand the full picture of his clients needs. He is patient and never gets annoyed or frustrated when the client doesn't respond or do something.
