Introducing a New Era for Independent Financial Advisers in Europe
At James & Partners, our journey in the financial sector has been fast-paced and full of learning. In just 18 months, we’ve had the privilege of working with some of the most forward-thinking advisers and financial networks across the globe. And now, we’re proud to announce a major development that marks the next chapter in that journey.

A Pan-European Network for Independent Advisers
We’re thrilled to introduce a new pan-European network for financial advisers, built in Europe and fully compliant under MiFID II regulation. James & Partners has been appointed as exclusive introducers for independent financial advisers joining this network.
This isn’t just another regulatory framework; it’s a powerful platform built by our clients over several years to give advisers what they’ve been missing: the ability to stay independent, stay compliant, and retain control over their business.
The Freedom to Grow With the Right Regulatory Backing
If you’re an experienced adviser operating in the UK or Europe, you’ll understand how difficult it’s become to find a structure that balances independence with full compliance. This network changes that equation.
Advisers within the platform can earn up to 90% of their revenue from assets under management while being protected by one of the most extensive regulatory footprints in the industry. The coverage includes:
- FCA regulation in the UK
- A Swiss-regulated entity
- DIFC coverage in Dubai
- Additional regulated structures in Singapore and Malaysia
This breadth of regulation gives advisers the freedom to serve clients across multiple regions, access cross-border products, and build a truly global business within a single, compliant framework.
Solving the Lead Generation Challenge
Of course, regulation alone doesn’t drive growth. One of the biggest hurdles for advisers today is lead generation; consistently finding high-quality, pre-qualified clients who are genuinely ready to engage.
Our clients have invested heavily in this area. They understand the migration of wealth from the UK into Europe and the Middle East and have built robust systems to help advisers capitalise on it. Members of the network gain access to exclusive lead-generation programmes, enabling them to grow their client base without sacrificing valuable advisory time to prospecting.
Exclusive Investment Opportunities
Beyond compliance and client acquisition, the network also offers access to exclusive investment funds based in the UK. These funds have delivered exceptional performance over recent years, including one that notably outperformed the market during the 2025 S&P 500 downturn.
These are opportunities that most independent advisers wouldn’t have access to on their own, and they represent a key advantage for those operating within this ecosystem.
Why Advisers Are Paying Attention
When you bring it all together:
- Full MiFID II regulation
- Global regulatory coverage
- 90% revenue retention
- Exclusive lead generation
- Access to top-tier investment funds
It’s easy to see why this network is attracting so much attention from advisers across Europe.
This isn’t just a compliance solution. It’s a comprehensive growth platform designed to help talented advisers build scalable, future-proof businesses with the right infrastructure, licensing, and client-generation support behind them.
We’re proud to play a role in bringing this opportunity to market, and we’re now opening conversations with senior advisers, wealth managers, and boutique firms across the UK and Europe who are ready to take the next step.
If this resonates with you, or if you’d simply like to understand how the structure works, let’s have a no-agenda conversation. We’d be delighted to walk you through how advisers are already using this framework to expand across Europe while maintaining their independence.
