our goals and impact.

It’s all about impact! We’ve helped hundreds of people start their careers, and dozens of advisers launch on their own firms. The best part? This is just the beginning.

our goals.

We’ve got big dreams, and we’re not afraid to chase them through the changes we deliver every year. We measure success through the changes we’re delivering:  

  • The number of empowered independent advisers earning funded diplomas

  • Exams passed en-route to success

  • The number of brand-new advice firms that launch into the market

Every success story is a triumph for the individuals, the Verve Foundation and what we stand for.

But let’s talk about some holistic goals too: we want to improve diversity, shrink the advice gap, and reframe the industry with positivity. We’ve specified 6 key areas of focus. It’s on all of us to push forward together, and we can’t do it alone! If your goals align with ours, please consider showing your support.  

the story so far.

Since we started in 2021, we’ve welcomed hundreds of individuals into our 'new talent' programme as well as hundreds of advisers into our business incubators. In 2025 we welcome another 40 students, to start their journey in finance, plus over 100 new advisers in our business programmes; our biggest year to date! It’s generous partner support that helps these numbers keep growing.
