Retired Chartered Accountant & Chartered Financial Planner, now applying his knowledge and experience as a part-time Consultant, Charity Trustee and Volunteer in the run up to a proper retirement one day!
This could develop into an interesting legal tussle - I bet another set of Lawyers will be looking on with interest! So St. James’s Place is responsible for setting the compliance framework and for following through to ensure its sales reps adhere to it - including ensuring they fulfil their legal obligations to review where contracted. And SJP has been quite happily facilitating the payment of those 0.5% adviser fees to those sales reps year after year. But now because its realised they haven't been doing those reviews its had to make a provision and presumably its got a big hole in its cashflow forecasts so it might be asking for the sales reps to pay those fees back. And in the meantime there is no mention of seeking recovery from those shareholding Executives who been making hay through salaries, bonuses and dividends whilst apparently being at best asleep at the wheel, and at worst potentially complicit! I'll be really interested to see how this one pans out! The other key point of interest to me is this - "When asked by analysts, Fitzpatrick said there was no ‘obvious cluster’ of appointed representative firms where the lack of ongoing advice was most prevalent, apart from a ‘slightly higher [rate] where the fund level is lower’". I read that as suggesting all of your thousands of franchisees and sales reps have been ripping clients off in pretty much equal measure then - is that correct?
Partners could be on hook for SJP’s £426m ongoing advice review, CEO says

📊 UK Lender Outperforms Expectations in Q2 - What This Could Mean for the Financial Sector 📊 In the latest financial reports, a UK lender has not only surpassed analysts' expectations for the second quarter but also introduced an interim chief financial officer. This is certainly a pivotal moment for both the institution and the larger financial landscape. 🔹 **Stronger-than-expected Earnings**: Beating market predictions indicates robust business tactics and financial health. This hints at a brighter outlook for stakeholders and potential investors. Consistent outperformance can usher in a cycle of trust and attract more investments. 🔹 **Strategic Leadership Update**: The appointment of an interim CFO is often more than just a leadership shuffle. It's a strategic move that can infuse new perspectives into financial planning and execution. Such changes often lead to reevaluating existing strategies and adopting innovative approaches to sustain growth momentum. Would this latest development prompt more banks to revisit their financial strategies and leadership structures? 🤔 It's certainly possible. Considering these points: 1. **Market Positioning**: Continued outperformance may propel this UK lender into stronger market positioning. This can stimulate competitive reforms across other financial institutions, fostering a healthier competitive environment. 2. **Investor Sentiment**: Positive earnings reports coupled with strategic leadership reassessments can bolster investor confidence. This might just set a precedent in the financial sector, leading others to improve transparency and performance measures. 3. **Innovation and Growth**: With new interim leadership, there's an opportunity for accelerated innovation. New CFOs often bring fresh ideas that can lead to refined processes, cutting-edge financial products, or varied consumer engagement channels. The ripple effect could enhance not just this lender's prospects but inspire sector-wide advancements. What are your thoughts on how this performance and restructuring might reshape the sector?

In our final snippet from Roger Esler's article with Pratap Partnership, he discusses the current appetite for Private Equity investment in Yorkshire! 1. Private equity investors have capital to deploy and are on the lookout for strong management teams, differentiated growth plans, and visible exit routes.🚀 2. As economic confidence recovers, demand for capital deployment and exits leads to a rise in deal flow 📈. Private equity investors raising new funds need to evidence of previous exit successes which also drives deal activity. 3. Alternative funding options exist for businesses that may not fit the private equity mould: a diverse debt and hybrid capital market offers alternative funding options for more mature, cash generative businesses and venture finance (e.g. VCTs, EIS funds) that suits early stage, high-growth propositions.💰 4. Due diligence processes are currently very rigorous, and businesses need to be well-prepared and advised to navigate these. So early planning and seeking out trusted experts is the key to maximising shareholder value and achieving a successful deal. 🤝 Given the importance of management to private equity deals, what are the greatest challenges in planning for management succession in your business? https://lnkd.in/ewWWzMiw

3 Things Credit Union Boards Can Do For Successful Succession Planning! Board succession is a difficult topic for credit union directors to talk about. Often it requires hard decisions to be made that usually don’t align with the self-preserving mindset of volunteers. This is true especially among board members who are retired and found purpose as directors. However, for a board to be truly successful there needs to be a process in place for succession. Keep in mind, that success is in the word succession. Boards cannot be really successful unless they plan for the future by ensuring that a talent pipeline exists. Here are the 3 things boards can do: 1) Director Emeritus Program – allows senior board members to transition off the board with dignity and respect while maintaining wise counsel and experience attending board meetings without a vote. 2) Director Advisory Board - is an excellent way to recruit new talent but young and experienced and establishes a pipeline for succession as they can attend board or committee meetings without a vote. 3) Term Limits – my least favorite, but may be necessary if the majority of board members are limited in their capacity to exercise their fiduciary duties.
