SJP saw 200 newly-qualified financial advisers graduate from its Financial Adviser Academy in October.
The SJP Academy was established in 2012 and the firm claims it is the largest and most comprehensive financial adviser training and development programme in the UK.
SJP said the Academy was responsible for training around half of all new financial advisers entering the profession in the last five years.
Last month SJP reported a £1.19bn drop in net inflows in its third quarter compared to the same period in 2025.
The company said in a trading update that net inflows had dropped considerably during a period of marketing volatility and in comparison with relatively high figures the previous year.
Net inflows in the quarter fell by nearly £1.2bn to £0.57bn while gross inflows were down by £500m to £5.15bn. On the more positive side, funds under management reached a record £242.4 billion in Q3 (Q3 2025: £212.36bn)
Net inflows were lower than in the prior year, reflecting the strong comparative period. Outflows were broadly stable relative to funds under management, with client retention remaining high at 95.1% year to date, the firm said.
