We are delighted to confirm that Ellis Bates Financial Advisers have been included within FT Adviser’s Top 100 Financial Advisers again.
The judging criteria is based on a number of factors including assets under management, gross inflows throughout the year, client retention and the number of Chartered or certified Financial Planners.
There are currently around 5,500 Adviser firms in the UK so to be in the Top 100 is a fantastic achievement and we’d like to thank everyone for their contribution towards this.
“These standards are a decent indication of a firm trying to do the right thing by its customers.
This year marks 10 years since the introduction of the Retail Distribution Review; seven years since pension freedoms came into force and six years since the Financial Advice Market Review highlighted serious issues that needed to be addressed.
And over that time, businesses have adapted to change, whether this be tax policy turning on a pin, dealing with the after-effects of the pandemic or embracing the digital transformation.
But finding the right balance between face-to-face advice and online services – as well as developing robust succession plans to future-proof the advice industry – could yet result in some significant changes to business models.”
