Professional Standards
We do not act as an agent for any financial product provider. We remove every conflict of interest that might prejudice our professional judgement. We do not receive commission. We do not charge for investing new funds. We teach clients how to safely undertake their own transactions, should they choose to. We do not use IFAs to represent us and pay no commission or introductory fee to any party. As Private Client Asset Managers we are not tied to any broker or private bank.
IWM works with some clients who are based in the USA under SEC exemptions, but does not actively market in the USA or its territories.
Culture
We trust that each client knows what is best for him or her, and we respect that. However, where an individual pursues actions that we think will eventually be to their detriment, we pro-actively approach the client and express clearly our concern. We trust our clients to understand the boundaries of the level of annual service that they select.
Planning
Our style is present each wealth strategy and tactic on our courses so well it does not need to be repeated during a lifetime.
Tax
Where we offer tax advice, it is given within the professional rules of the Chartered Institute of Taxation. IWM is a firm of 'Chartered Tax Advisers'.
Asset Management
IWM is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for UK investment business. IWM is an 'independent' firm within the meaning of those rules. IWM holds MIFID permissions to meet and give 'investment advice' to individuals in many EU countries. The rules and regulations made by the FCA, the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 for the protection of investors may not apply outside the UK. Such advice given within Jersey is permitted under the authority of an FSC exemption.
Guarantee of Satisfaction
We offer our guarantee of satisfaction on our stand-alone services. Upon the completion of a service, clients pay if they agreed they have experienced value for money.
Transactions
Should you decide to undertake investment transactions with a broker or bank, you will incur transaction costs, which you will pay directly to your broker, and which IWM is not party to. We do, however, make available our shortlist of brokers and private banks with whom we have negotiated discounts.
Compensation Scheme
WIM is a firm within the Financial Service Compensation Scheme in the UK. Cover from the scheme may be available on some of your existing investments, depending upon whether they were issued within the FCA's jurisdiction.
