Our accreditations

• The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII)
  

  We are one of a very small proportion of financial planning firms in the UK to demonstrate the endeavour and commitment necessary to qualify for Chartered status. Chartered status is a symbol of technical competence and demonstrates a firm is at the forefront of its profession and serves as a mark of trust.
  Chartered status also involves a commitment to continuing professional development and an adherence to an industry-standard Code of Ethics. It means you can be confident you are dealing with a firm that is going beyond minimum requirements when giving financial advice.

  In 2019 we became members of CEFEX, and we are certified for Investment Advisor Fiduciary Excellence, placing us globally amongst an elite group of firms, with only a handful of firms achieving this certification in the UK.
  This certification looks at how we run our business, how we run money and ensures we have the right systems, processes, and controls in place. Having a clear investment philosophy with robust processes that are embedded across our entire business.
  As a fiduciary (the highest legal duty of one party to another), we are bound ethically to act in our clients best interests. An investment fiduciary is responsible for the management of the assets of others and is therefore in a special position of confidence, reliance, and trust.
