Achieving Chartered status confirms the most rigorous criteria relating to professional qualifications and ethical good practice has been satisfied.Financial advisers seem to appear and disappear on our High Streets with alarming regularity. In contrast, Shorts has been providing financial advice for almost 130 years. This enviable heritage provides assurance to our clients that we are committed for the long term and will see their plans through to fruition.Over recent years there have been many changes to legislation within the profession. Despite many advisers choosing to move away from their independent status, we have taken the decision to remain Independent Financial Advisers as we believe this delivers the very best impartial advice.As Independent Financial Advisers, our range of services includes investments, pensions, will and estate planning and business protection.
