OUR PROCESS

Your blueprint
to financial freedom.

See the process

We free up your time and ensure your future is secured, creating bespoke financial plans, highly personalised and aligned to your aspirations. Delivering the truly personalised service you’d expect from a boutique financial practice, we are also underpinned by the resources and scale of St. James’s Place, the UK’s largest wealth management firm by funds under management.

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.

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.

Trusts are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

OUTCOMES & RESULTS

Hear from some of our clients.

TESTIMONIAL

I have found Hugh extremely knowledgeable and approachable. He provides me with a strong sense of comfort and calm, especially when the markets are anything but! He is always professional and prepared and is willing to explain things to be in a clear and concise manner. I thoroughly recommend Hugh (and have done so to several of my contacts)!

Client

TESTIMONIAL

Over the past few years, Hugh has offered me very highly valuable counsel across a broad range of topics. I’d summarise his approach as a combination of a high level of knowledge and expertise in products (far exceeding mine albeit I work in finance) alongside a candid and transparent approach around what is practical and sensible whilst not giving any product a “hard sell”. I highly value what I’m sure will be a longstanding relationship for many years to come.

Client

TESTIMONIAL

I cannot recommend Hugh as a financial advisor enough. He takes a very personalised approach and his advice always has my best interest at heart. I trust him 100% and feel like that’s the most important thing when it comes to taking financial advice.

Client

TESTIMONIAL

I continue to receive top-notch guidance and attentiveness from Angelo, more than three years later – and he remains an experienced voice of reason. One of the things that has struck me the most is his extreme attentiveness to legal changes in tax, allowances, etc. and always guides me to the correct discussions with my accountants.

Client

TESTIMONIAL

Angelo Crisafulli and his colleagues have been acting as my personal financial advisers for a number of years. I am an investment banker by background and now work as a partner of a specialist advisory boutique in the renewable energy sector. I have been consistently impressed by the quality of service and the personal dedication shown by Angelo and have every intention of continuing to use his services in the coming years.

Client

TESTIMONIAL

Ashley has provided and still is providing an excellent service with friendly personable engagement. Helping logically and informatively from formulating through to executing on retirement planning and financial matters, provided a 5 star service. If asked for a recommendation I would highly recommend.

Client

TESTIMONIAL

Michael provides a “Rolls Royce” level of service and support which leaves me feeling informed without being overwhelmed. I’m confident that my pension is in safe hands.

Client

TESTIMONIAL

Dealing with Michael has been a pleasure from day one. He has been very informative, always prepared and very transparent and has made me and my family feel at ease and well looked after. His charming personality surely helped, but what we are fond of is his knowledge of markets and the platform he represents and the fact that all our questions have always been promptly and thoroughly answered. Our experience has been extremely positive and we would recommend him highly.

Client

TESTIMONIAL

Michael has provided us thoughtful, sensitive, and supportive guidance on the structuring of our portfolio over the last couple of years. He is personable and highly responsive and has built a trusted relationship which has been instrumental in building confidence in our long-term finances and foundations for the future.

Client

TESTIMONIAL

Michael is a pleasure to work with. He is also very responsive and good at finding time when a discussion would be helpful. He is proactive about reaching out to catch up. He is very much an expert and gives clear and focused advice which it is easy to action.
