4. Why are Jelf corporate intermediaries rather than IFAs?
Jelf's core business focuses on the provision of an extensive range of services to companies not the provision of independent financial advice to individuals.
5. What is Jelf's dividend policy?
The Directors intend to commence payment of dividends only when it becomes commercially prudent to do so, having regard to the availability of the Company's distributable profits, the retention of funds required to finance future growth, the attractiveness of future investment opportunities and the maximisation of shareholder value.
6. Where is Jelf going?
The Jelf Group intends to continue its growth strategy, driven by both organic growth and cross-selling across all divisions and by acquisitions. Growth by acquisition will focus mainly on commercial insurance and healthcare, where there are attractive opportunities to create shareholder value due to the scale economies in these businesses. The Group will continue to focus on SMEs, as well as larger corporate clients and High Net Worth individuals (often the owner-managers of our SME clients); we will also continue to expand our footprint in England and Wales. While we are excited by these growth opportunities, we recognise that clients and client service must always be our first priority; and that growth must be achieved in a controlled manner, in order to protect and preserve the Group’s reputation as a first class organisation.
