Gina Parker

Spear’s Review

Assured, calm and quietly forthright, Gina Parker is a wealth management veteran with 25 years’ experience to call upon. As a principal partner of St. James’s Place Private Clients, she serves a clientele of entrepreneurial and City HNWs and UNHWs, taking a holistic approach to their wealth and lives. 

‘We really do try to wrap our arms around the clients and care for them deeply across the whole spectrum of their financial position, whether it’s basic bank accounts or complex offshore investments and trusts,’ she told Spear’s. 

Her role requires discretion, empathy and professionalism: ‘You get to hear the innermost thoughts and pieces of information about families, how they feel about life, what’s happened in their life – it’s so much more than just the money,’ she said.
