3. Unique Partners' Capital Plan

Our Partners' Capital Plan (PCP) is designed to help you fully realise the value of the business you create. PCP makes it possible for Partners to achieve a high value sale of their Practice which may be purchased either by St. James's Place, or, in the majority of cases, by another Partner. For highly motivated Partners the purchase can take place within a surprisingly short timescale: a period of ten or even five years is realistic.

Our Investment Committee monitors the entire investment marketplace and then carefully selects a number of leading fund managers, each with their own distinctive investment styles. The managers we choose are then continually assessed; they are replaced swiftly, should performance fall below our benchmarks.
