Shaf Hussain joins from Pinnacle Wealth Management, an appointed representative of St. James’s Place.

He worked at Pinnacle for four years as a financial adviser focusing on advising City professionals, business owners and family clients. 

He holds an Investment advice diploma from the Chartered Institute of Securities & Investments and is a graduate of the University of Kingston.

Prior to their merger in September, both Tilney and Smith & Williamson migrated to a remote working model. 

Despite the challenges of the pandemic the firm says it is continuing to recruit.

Nick Geere, managing partner at Tilney Financial Planning, said: “With the ongoing financial uncertainty caused by the pandemic, it is imperative to have professional financial advice and I am delighted to welcome Shaf to our team in Essex. 

“Despite all the challenges that lockdown has brought, we are very pleased to have continued to hire new talent. This is a very exciting time for the business, as we come together to offer an unrivalled proposition spanning both wealth management and professional services to our clients.”
