About

I'm a Chartered Financial Planner, a Fellow of The Personal Finance Society and I have a Masters in Chemistry from Oxford University. On paper, I know what I’m doing. However, this means nothing if I don’t listen to my clients, understand what’s important to them and have their best interests at heart. This is the difference between financial planning and financial advice.

I have worked in the industry since 2011 and genuinely love what I do. I provide broad based advice, mainly to directors, professionals and retired clients helping them with practical solutions to the financial issues that concern them most. There is little more rewarding than helping people live a better life and contributing to a better world.

Removing complexity is incredibly important to me and I don’t believe you can explain a concept in simple terms until you fully understand it. So, I place a strong emphasis on my personal development and am committed to ensuring that my technical knowledge remains broad and current to enable me to explain concepts simply and deliver advice of the highest quality.

Giving to people less fortunate is something I, and St. James's Place, take incredibly seriously and I regularly donate to the St. James's Place Charitable Foundation - a charity at the heart of St. James's Place culture and one of the largest corporate foundations in the UK.

At home, my partner runs her own design business, and yoga practice, and I have 3 wonderful children – two girls and a boy. Physical exercise is my medicine, and the world is a better place after a swim, surf, game of tennis or a long coastal walk with the family.

In 2011, I chose to become a Partner Practice of St. James's Place because I believe it will provide the best outcome for my clients. It gives me access to:

  • A level of investment management ordinarily reserved for the largest institutions. 
  • A wealth of expertise via the Partnership and over 100 in-house technical experts.
  • An advice guarantee backed by a FTSE 100 company.
  • A huge range of products, services, and resources to help serve any financial plan.

A Personal Message from Miles.

The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds you select and the value can therefore go down as well as up. You may get back less than you invested.
