How we operate

To ensure that I prioritise clients’ interests above my own, we follow an internationally recognised professional advice process to ensure my recommendations are based on my client’s goals, objectives, and circumstances.

I am required to:

• Give priority to my client’s interests by taking all reasonable steps to make sure my own interests don’t materially influence my advice.
• Exercise care, diligence, and skill in providing you with advice.
• Meet standards of competence, knowledge and skill set by the Code of Professional Conduct forFinancial Advice Services (designed to ensure I have the expertise needed to provide you with advice).

Remuneration (what do our services cost?)

For each client engagement, we agree on a service fee before the commencement of any billable work.

We discuss the level of engagement required, as this will determine the ongoing costs. These can be fixed annualised costs, an agreed percentage of the total portfolio value (this may be in the vicinity of 0.50% –2.00% gross p.a. and agreed prior), and invoicing on a ‘time in attendance ’basis. The cost for preparing a Statement of Advice is determined after an initial conversation and discussed with you before the commencement of any work.

Neither I nor Private Wealth Advisers accept commissions from investment providers. In some circumstances, as agreed with the client,Private Wealth Advisers may charge brokerage on direct equity transactions.Where trades are recommended, there will be a fee for this in the range of 0.00%- 1.00%, and when they are known, they will be disclosed to you.

Conflicts of interest

We take any perceived or real conflicts of interest very seriously. We avoid, disclose and/or manage any conflicts so that our client’s interests are placed first and foremost. Due to the nature of our fee structure, financial conflicts are largely mitigated.

The main conflict of interest arises from referrals from our non-executive director, who will act as both trustee and accountant of the referred client. This individual is also a shareholder of PWA and may benefit in the form of dividend payments and shareholder value.

From time to time, investment managers and other suppliers may provide PWA staff with items of minor value, such as tickets to sporting events, hampers, or other similar gifts.
