There are two ways to make money - work for an income, which usually only increases in line with inflation (at best), or invest your assets so they increase in value over time.
If you want to achieve your financial goals quicker, outpace inflation, and enjoy retirement to the fullest, we recommend the latter.
The inconvenient truth is your investment strategy determines your financial future and stashing cash in savings accounts simply won’t outrun inflation. That’s why St. James's Place offers a range of individual funds and risk-rated portfolios so that you can spread your investments across a wide range of asset types and countries.
Andy Shaw, Director of Investment Consultancy at St. James's Place, explains our investment proposition and how our portfolios are constructed.

Investing in turbulent times
It’s hard to ignore that our world is in a volatile place. Geopolitical tensions are high, and it seems the only constant in life over the past few years has been change, change, and more change. Many investors are prematurely searching for quick-fix answers, but our experienced financial investment consultants advise against knee-jerk reactions and short-term changes to your investment strategies, as these can often lead to significant losses.
It’s normal for markets to fall during times of uncertainty, but remember, the stock market has always recovered from every conflict, often bouncing back significantly and quickly. Don’t take our word for it though, check the history books. Markets have always rebounded from periods of turmoil, often surging back stronger and faster than expected. Our investment planners can provide the guidance and support you need to navigate these challenging times. Remember, investing in equities has consistently proven to be the most effective way to grow your capital and protect it from the erosive effects of inflation over the long term.
The only certainty when investing is that it is impossible to be sure how the markets will move. It’s common to hear advice to always buy at the bottom. However, in reality, no one ever really knows when the market is at the bottom. The sharpest falls and the largest gains are often concentrated into short periods of time. If you try to time the market to avoid the falls, you’re highly likely to miss the gains.
Remember, past performance is not a guide to the future and may not be repeated.
The value of an investment with St. James’s Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds selected and may fall as well as rise. You may get back less than the amount invested.
An investment in equities and shares will not provide the security of capital associated with a deposit account with a bank or building society.
