Our Chartered Status

We are proud to have been awarded the prestigious title “Chartered Financial Planners” by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII).

This title is only awarded to firms who are committed to an overall standard of excellence and professionalism. Chartered status is granted by the Privy Council and is the industry’s gold standard for financial planners. There are currently fewer than 50 firms in the whole of Scotland who have been awarded Chartered status.

Chartered firms must follow a demanding code of ethical practice. This means they must work in a principled manner which places clients’ interests at the heart of the advice they give.
