The APM Board Our Strategy - Up-close and personal APM actively seeks out projects through personal exchanges and recommandations.

Foreign workers have settled in the city because it offers the chance to capitalise on China’s thriving economy – but without moving completely beyond the comforts of home. It’s exotic but not starkly unfamiliar, and while it maintains the flavour of its early roots, the transport, buildings and lifestyle are all very modern. At St. James’s Place Wealth Management, we appreciate that relocating to a new country can be daunting. This guide draws upon the experiences of many of our Shanghai Team who themselves have experienced this move first hand. Given our strong links within the international business community and years of experience serving the expatriate population in Shanghai, we think we are in a good position to help your transition into this great city. One of the things that makes Shanghai so popular with foreign workers is the ease with which comforts from home can be found.
