*Sorry about the sound at the start. 🔈 Just for transparency, the offices 🏢 I filmed the opening scenes are not the same location as the offices for the company I work for. I decided it would be easier to film somewhere out in London.
**When I say the 'good work' at 7.24 I mean what I consider the high impact, face to face stuff with clients.... not that compliance is not good work. 🙃😉

Thanks for providing the first video of what a financial advisor actually does. So sick of the videos stating "day in the life of a financial advisor" and then just show themselves waking up and and eating.

What a great video, it made me smile as I can relate to the providers phone calls.

Brilliant video thanks George! 👍 it’s great to see some of the day to day stuff and personally I’d love to see more of this sort of thing. Thanks for taking the time to make it despite being so busy. I have recently passed my R01 exam so this content is very well timed. Oh and I drive a hairdressers car as well! 😂👍

This is an outstanding video, really paints a clear picture about what to expect day to day while being down to earth and not taking yourself too seriously. Really, thank you very much. For the qualifications is there someone you recommend for the training online? I'm not the best sit down and read a book person and react much better to audio and videos with a person talking etc

@PrinciplesPersonalFinance Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Grateful for you watching and your support. I used Expert Pensions for my AF exams who do both study days and video learning. I know the CII do paid training days but I never used them. Hear they were ok (not brilliant, but ok.) I also used Brand FT for some tests which can be useful, unsure if they do face to face. Beyond that, the majority was learning on the job and studying in my own time. I'm sure there are lots of other in-person routes that I will have not mentioned there though. Wish you all the best with your studies.

Hi Thanks for making the video. Incredibly helpful to someone who's trying to get a feel of what it is like to be a financial advisor! Would you mind sharing your thoughts on non-native English speakers pursuing this career? I like all other aspects of being a financial advisor but do find it require more effort to build a connection with people because of the disadvantage in language and differences in cultural backgrounds etc. Have you seen any successful examples? Many thanks!

The being on the phone to providers is comedy gold! FAR too many delays and ring arounds in this area and we need to push prodivers to digitise LOA's as much as possible

First time discovering this channel and look forward to finding some more content 👌 I’m studying for CeMAP and have been wanting to get into financial services for a while. Had some experience as an Admin but the repor with my colleagues let me down so decided to leave finish my studying and go back into it. In the long term I’d love to do more advanced financial planning 👍 subscribed

Thank you for sharing your experience. It is very useful for people like me who have just obtained the DipFA diploma and want to learn more about the profession. It is interesting that everybody mentions the lack of Financial Advisors and that nearly 50% of the current advisors will retire in the next 5 years. However, it is very difficult to find the right opportunity. It is kind of a contradiction. Do you have any advice on how to get a foot in the industry?

What do you think about being an appointed rep of someone like SJP, Quilter or Openwork?

@PrinciplesPersonalFinance Жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for watching. For me I've always wanted to be an independent adviser and I feel some of the restricted larger firms offer more sales-type roles where you are there mainly to plug their funds, which are often quite expensive. So not for me. I do however fully appreciate that many have to start somewhere and there's nothing wrong with these roles. On my website link I address some of the issues in trying to find the right firm which may be very challenging at the start of your journey. All the best, George

Whats the average yearly income from each client?

@PrinciplesPersonalFinance 2 ай бұрын

That question doesn't make any sense. What are you trying to understand?

@Nobumblegumforyou 2 ай бұрын

@@PrinciplesPersonalFinance Each of your client pays a AUM fee, which is a income. I'm trying to ascertain what a realistic figure is based on industry benchmarks for the income received per client and income received per year operating as a Financial Advisor. So e.g. self employed FA year 1 =x, 20 clients. FA year 2=, x, 35 clients. Etc.
