A widening financial advice gap​

The profession is facing a significant challenge: the demand for trusted financial advice is increasing, yet the number of qualified advisers is not keeping up the same pace.​

Currently, there are over 28,000 financial advisers in the UK, many of whom are approaching retirement with the average age of 58. ​

​Meanwhile, the UK’s ‘affluent’ demographic - those with investable assets between £100,000-£2 million - is projected to rise from £1.4 trillion in 2023 to £2.1 trillion by 2023 leading to an increased demand for financial advice *. ​

​Financial advisers help people to build a better financial future. Could you be one of them?​
