Traditional wealth management often only focuses on someone\u2019s financial goals, without understanding the bigger picture of what wealth truly means to them.<\/p>

We specialise in helping individuals, business owners and organisations explore and redefine wealth, developing financial strategies focused on what matters most to them, their business and their people.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Helping you: LifePlan<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our experts spend time exploring your goals and aspirations through the\u00a0Pinnacle LifePlan<\/a>, setting out a clear path to enable you to achieve them.<\/p>

Typically, a\u00a0LifePlan<\/a> spans 50 years and incorporates a number of financial, legacy and protection strategies.<\/p>

Invest in you<\/strong><\/h5>

Each plan details tailored financial strategies designed to meet a client\u2019s goals at different stages of their life, ranging from the needs of having a young family through to enjoying financial freedom in retirement.<\/p>

Create your legacy<\/strong><\/h5>

What does legacy truly mean to you?<\/p>

When we explore this with our clients, they tell us about their hopes and aspirations for themselves and future generations. Many people consider leaving a lasting legacy for their family, some for their business and some for a charity through philanthropic giving.<\/p>

We help you to develop your plans for giving while you are here\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0after you are gone, meaning the mark you leave in life is on your terms.<\/p>

Protect yourself<\/strong><\/h5>

Peace of mind comes from knowing that you and your loved ones will be looked after, whatever happens. As part of your\u00a0Pinnacle LifePlan<\/a>, we review then protect your finances against unexpected events that could have a detrimental effect on your family\u2019s future and legacy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Helping your business: LifePlan+<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our\u00a0LifePlan+<\/a> is for business owners who want to align their personal goals and aspirations with the vision for their business. It includes strategies to grow and protect an enterprise, enabling stakeholders exit on their own terms*.<\/p>

Invest in your business<\/strong><\/h5>

It is often the case that entrepreneurs fail to realise the true value of their company. We work closely with businesses to develop the right financial and growth strategies to help the individual and the business achieve their full potential.<\/p>

Create your business legacy<\/strong><\/h5>

Our clients often tell us that how they exit their business is as important as building it. Having a plan in place early is crucial to preserve the legacy of a business, making sure it continues the way you want it to; and ensuring your personal vision aligns with the organisation.<\/p>

Protect your business<\/strong><\/h5>

In addition to a business owner’s individual needs, they also face the need to protect what is often their biggest financial asset; the company itself. Many businesses are damaged by events that occur through no fault of their own – for instance – losing a key person to injury or illness, or worse.<\/p>

We take time to explore a company and identify where the real risks are. Then we develop the right plan to protect the organisation from all eventualities.<\/p>

We work in conjunction with an extensive network of external growth Advisers and SME specialists, such as Elephants Child, who have been carefully selected by St. James\u2019s Place. The services provided by these specialists are separate and distinct to the services carried out by St. James\u2019s Place and include advice on how to grow your business and prepare your business for sale.<\/p>

*Exit strategies may involve the referral to a service that is separate and distinct to those offered by St. James\u2019s Place.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
