A Candid Conversation on the Future of Family Businesses
AAB / Our Team / Jenny Hampton
Private individuals. Families. Business owners.
Retirement planning. Estate planning. Investment management. Financial forecasting. Legacy planning.
Jenny Hampton is a Financial Planner based in our London Gatwick office, working with private individuals, families, and business owners to help them make informed financial decisions and feel confident about their future. Her role is varied, meeting with clients, reviewing cashflow models, and updating financial plans. Jenny also invests time in staying ahead of industry and regulatory changes, attending internal and external training to ensure her advice is always relevant and robust.
“My starting point with any client is understanding what’s important to them about money. That’s non-negotiable for me. It’s not just about their financial targets; it’s about the bigger picture, their values, and the life they want to live.
One of the most rewarding relationships I’ve built was with a couple in their early 50s who felt overwhelmed about retirement planning. They had multiple pensions and savings, but no clear idea of how it all fitted together. I spent our early meetings listening, asking the right questions, and mapping out their lifestyle priorities. By creating a clear visual forecast, they could finally see how today’s decisions would shape their future. That clarity gave them the confidence to move forward with purpose.”
“For me, the most satisfying part of my role is watching clients move from a place of uncertainty to a place of clarity. Many people start the process feeling unsure about whether they’re saving enough, whether they can retire when they want to, or how they can leave a meaningful legacy.
A recent example that stands out is a client in her early 60s who wasn’t sure if she could afford to retire. She had pensions, ISAs, and cash savings, but no clear plan. I worked with her to build a financial forecast, modelling different scenarios such as higher spending or long-term care. By showing her that her life was affordable and sustainable, she gained the confidence to step into retirement knowing her future was secure.”
“What I value most about being part of the team is the collaboration. I have access to a wide range of expertise, from tax and legal to investment specialists, all under one roof. It means we can deliver advice that is genuinely holistic, while maintaining the personal relationships that matter most to our clients.”
“One of the greatest challenges in financial planning is the uncertainty, particularly in areas like estate and inheritance planning. Legislation changes, personal circumstances shift, and no one can predict exactly how things will unfold over decades.
My approach is to build flexible, adaptable strategies and communicate openly with clients about the assumptions we’re working with. We can’t control every variable, but we can plan in a way that keeps them on course regardless of what life throws their way.”
“There’s a misconception that financial planning is just about investments or pensions. While those are important tools, my role is really about helping people make informed choices, set achievable goals, and feel in control.
The top strengths I bring to the team are my ability to build lasting, trust-based relationships, my willingness to challenge the norm, and my commitment to getting things done. Clients know that when I say I’ll do something, I will – and that reliability builds trust over time.”
“I’m passionate about continuing to develop my skills in relationship building and communication. I also see huge potential in AI to enhance, not replace, the human side of financial advice. Used well, it can make the planning process more efficient, so we can spend more time focusing on what matters most, our clients and their goals.”
