St. James's Place

The UK's largest restricted wealth manager.

Founded in 1991 by Sir Mark Weinberg and Mike Wilson, SJP grew into the UK's largest wealth manager by assets, listed on the FTSE 100. The Partnership comprises ~4,800 self-employed Partners supported by a central head office of ~3,000. SJP's defining feature is a vertically integrated, restricted proposition: clients invest exclusively in SJP-branded funds, accessed through SJP's own platform and serviced under the SJP brand. Following sustained FCA scrutiny culminating in a 2024 charge restructure and £426m provision for client redress, the firm is rebuilding trust while maintaining sector-leading distribution.
