Raymond James, Fulham

We had so much fun holding a stand at Saint Cecilia’s Church of England School Careers Fair, talking all things personal finance and wealth management. We were really impressed by the students’ enthusiasm and level of knowledge (as well as their mini-basketball skills!). Hopefully, it sparks an interest in our brilliant industry. Thank you so much to GAIN UK for connecting us.

Being part of the local community is so important to us. That’s why we absolutely loved attending Fulham Social Hub’s event last night. There was good food, great company and (to everyone’s surprise) fabulous weather. The perfect way for our community to come together after the summer break.

Many thanks to all those that attended the Fulham Networking Club yesterday at the King's Arms. As always we tried to do something different to traditional networking, and this time we incorporated a ice-breaking treasure trail around Fulham, followed by friendly drinks in the pub!

We had a wonderful time at the Hurlingham Club yesterday. An insightful tour of the gardens by Carrie Starren who pointed out some gems such as The Diving Lady statue. It was also reassuring to see how some things stand the test of time, such as the Eight Bells pub which we spotted on the 1860s map!

Many companies say that they focus on clients. But Raymond James has the numbers to back it up. The brilliant results from the latest Client Opinion Survey are a testament to the focus that Raymond James advisors have on their clients. We are so proud that Raymond James, Fulham is in good company and part of the Raymond James Investment Services family.

It’s Friday and we have Benny the dog staying with us. He is spreading his positive energy around the office already.

In our Money Agony Aunt series, we answer some of the most commonly asked money questions. Today’s question: I want to start investing for my child. Where do I start? Answer: Before you begin, ask yourself: 1. Is there something specific for which I would like to invest? For instance, my child’s school fees, house deposit or their later life. 2. Would I be comfortable with my child taking ownership of the investment pot when they turn 18 years old? If this causes panic, don’t worry – there are options to explore! 3. Do I want to have access to any money that is saved or invested for my child? This could be for educational purposes or to help with family’s living costs (such as mortgage payments). It is worth pondering these questions because they help determine the best way for you to start investing for your child. We delve into more detail in the article. P.S. We help individuals and families with their financial affairs. If you have a money question or would like to discuss your personal finances in a confidential setting, drop us a line: Fulham@RaymondJames.com Please be aware that capital is at risk when investing.

Raymond James 2024 Forum – done! Every year, Raymond James and Charles Stanley branches, stretching from Scotland to the south coast, come together in London. A few things that make it such a special event in our view. 1. Leading advisers, such as Mary Clements Evans, share their best practice. 2. Industry experts, such as Karen Ward, discuss key topics affecting the economy and personal finance. 3. It’s a chance to connect with our peers. It has been a blast and we can’t wait for the next one. #RJForum2024
