50,000 NEW ADVISERS NEEDED - There’s never been a better time to become a Financial Adviser.

With the average age of a Financial Adviser being 57 years old, many are set to retire over the next few years. In the UK, there are currently 11m people with between £50k and £5m of investible assets. With only 27,000 financial advisers left, and with each of these having on average 150 clients, there is a shortfall of more than 50,000 advisers needed to plug the ‘advice gap’. This says nothing of our ageing UK population whose finances tend to become more complicated with time and the expected billions due to change hands as part of intergenerational wealth transfer over the next 20 years. There has never been a better time to become a Financial Adviser.

DO I HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BECOME A FINANCIAL ADVISER?

Financial Advisers work with individuals and organisations to help them achieve their financial goals. There are no educational or sector-specific prerequisites to becoming a successful Adviser, and you would have developed many of the key attributes during military service:

A self-motivated and entrepreneurial spirit
A desire to learn and achieve results
The ability to problem-solve and initiate action
Strong interpersonal and communication skills
Resilience, integrity and determination
