References: (1) The International Longevity Centre UK calculated that if a person received professional financial advice between 2001 and 2006 it resulted, on average, in them being £47,706 better off in terms of pensions and financial assets once fees and charges had been taken into account in 2014/15 (What it’s worth – revisiting the value of financial advice, ILC, November 2019). (2) According to independent analysis by Numis Securities (September 2020) based on comparing annual returns for St. James’s Place clients against those who managed their own investments. The research, which covered all clients’ SJP pension investments, found that between June 2010 and June 2020 the average growth achieved was 7.7% pa. This means £100,000 invested at the start of the period would be worth £210,000 by the end. By comparison, the same exercise for pension clients of a large firm where investors usually make their own investment decisions achieved an average of 5.5% pa over the same period. So on average £100,000 invested by a non-advised client grew to £171,000 over the ten years. This analysis didn’t include any tax benefits from advice and so Numis’s researchers concluded that the main difference between the two was the ‘greater long-term discipline and lower emotion an adviser provides’.
