James Hay Partnership, the platform for retirement wealth planning, has been working with financial advisers and clients for over 30 years to administer pensions, savings and investments in a cost and tax efficient way. Today nearly 56,000* clients trust us to look after more than £20 billion* worth of pension and investment savings.
From the very first day we have challenged industry norms as we’ve responded to changing client needs - from being the first SIPP provider in the UK, through to developing our modular approach to retirement wealth planning, which we launched in 2013.
The Modular iSIPP embraces fair and flexible pricing meaning the customer only pays for what they use, while they use it. This has now been evolved through the Modular iPlan to include other non-pension wrappers such as GIAs and ISAs.
We are able to continue to innovate thanks to being part of the IFG Group, a focused financial services company specialising in the provision of independent financial advisory and administrative services.
Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, IFG Group plc is listed on the Irish and London Stock Exchanges.
