Why being Chartered is important to us
We are proud to have been awarded the Chartered Financial Planner status.
750 firms have received this award; it therefore truly sets us apart from our peers.
As a Chartered firm of financial planners, we have satisfied rigorous criteria relating to professional qualifications and ethical good practice. It means you can be confident you are dealing with one of the UK’s leading firms, that is committed to providing you with the best possible advice, service and support....
Chartered status, which is awarded by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) demonstrates a desire for individual advisers, and Alexander Grace as a business, to go above and beyond the minimum standards required to act as a financial adviser.
As the CII say, Chartered status is the “gold standard for firms of financial planners.” when you use a Chartered firm you are dealing with proven professional. The CII is empowered by the Privy Council to award Chartered status and the award is only made in deserving cases. While Chartered tittles are steeped in history, they remain the benchmark of professional excellence and integrity.

I was recommended to Neil, having never needed the services of a financial planner before, and I cannot speak highly enough of him. He has been efficient, thorough, utterly reliable and always ready to go the extra mile. I know that my investments are being handled by the best out there and I would trust him one hundred percent in all my financial dealings.
Cathy Williams AuthorWe have always been entirely satisfied with the way Rob King deals with our company and personal finances and trust our relationship will continue for the foreseeable future.
Susan Morgan Retired DirectorEase of being able to contact Mr King/Alexander Grace is of the utmost importance and gives me great confidence in my dealing with your company
Mike Procter DirectorNot a lot we can add to the "strongly agree" which we do not put lightly. Delighted at the service and more importantly the performance of the portfolio.
Roland Eric France DirectorOnly other comment is to say thanks, especially to Rob, but also to the whole team in helping to get me and my family to our goals.
John Wadsworth Retired DirectorI would like to thank Neil and his team for presenting a speedy and informative service on all aspects relating to my pensions and would have no hesitation to recommend your company to all my friends and family.
Clive Radnall RetiredWell handled throughout, very efficient. My wife and I felt there was a clear understanding of our Pension requirements without a high pressure sales pitch. Excellent advice and service.
Martin Douglas Business AdviserFrom the moment I engaged their services, I was impressed by their professionalism and commitment to understanding my unique financial goals. Their team of highly skilled financial planners took the time to listen to my concerns, assess my current financial situation, and develop a personalized strategy to help me achieve my objectives.
Richard Wright CEOI was recommended to Lee by a trusted advisor to handle various pension pots accumulated over 30 years. Efficiently handled and explained with positive outcomes for both the immediate and longer term, Lee and the team give me great confidence my pension investments are in safe hands.
Julia EdwardsAG have been our financial advisers for nearly 20 years, during that time we have found their advice invaluable, with regular personal reviews taking into account changing needs, supported by clear written comprehensive reports, with amendments or recommendations personally explained. The Client Team are very efficient, easy to talk to and quick in responding to any queries or making follow up appointments. Neil and Angela have provided us with plain good old fashioned personal service, the sort not easy to find in the corporate world.
Keith and Gaynor LeaI was recommended to this firm nearly three years’ ago when looking for specialist advice on transferring my defined benefit pension scheme. Being naturally cautious and aware of warnings to avoid sharp operators in this market I approached discussion with understandable prudence and trepidation. What struck me immediately was the ethos of calm professionalism, assured knowledge and utmost integrity of everyone I spoke to at the company. At no time did I feel pressured or rushed into making decisions. Rather, I was encouraged to question and fully consider all aspects of what is a very complex matter with far-reaching life implications. I have continued to be impressed with the standards of care and professionalism in all aspects of their service and the efficiency and friendliness of my Financial Advisor, Karen Pizey.
Peter Whitehouse
All communications have been clear, timely & with the necessary detail. Very much a joint partnership, working towards my objectives which helps give complete confidence in all decisions. I would absolutely recommend Neil & the team at Alexander Grace to any of my friends, colleagues & family without hesitation.
