It’s important that investors have plenty of choice when it comes to planning for retirement.

We are very pleased with our progress in 2015, as reported by the IFG Group today, and are showing the benefits of key investments made in the business over the recent past. Looking forward, we will continue to enhance our service and proposition as we broaden our business to realise our goal to be the leading independent platform for retirement wealth planning.

There are many, many reasons for jumping at the chance to join James Hay, not least of which is the fact that while other platforms will be distracted by Sunset, James Hay has had 100 per cent discrete charging for many years now which means the change team can focus on the areas our clients have told us are important to them.

Whilst other platforms are having to focus on making sure they’re ready for Sunset, concerned with re-tooling or struggle to make a profit, we’re fortunate not only to have been Sunset-ready since the word go but we also own our IT infrastructure. Those two facts, coupled with a financially robust parent which is committed to the UK platform market, means we’re able to re-invest back into the business. This latest new hires all focus on providing our customers with more support and is just one area where that investment can be seen.

With all of the recent changes to the retirement market it’s a great time to join a thriving platform with such an impressive SIPP pedigree.
