How Our Advisors Work With You

OUR SERVICE

Successful people and organisations often have sophisticated financial needs, but have little time to properly reflect on those needs, goals and objectives, and conduct relevant research and source appropriate solutions.

Our aim is to provide you with professional, competent and reliable advice, and to ensure that you will always fully understand:

• What strategies we are recommending and why;
• How these strategies will assist you in achieving your goals;
• How much our advice and the implementation of our recommendations will cost you; and
• Our ongoing service and value to you

To develop these strategies and implement a plan for your financial future, we will take you through a four step process.

THE 4 STEP PROCESS

STEP 1 – INITIAL MEETING

At your initial appointment we will spend time getting to know you, your goals and objectives. This will help both of us determine the type of service you will require, and how we can work together to achieve your goals. It is important that you give us as much information as possible at that meeting so we can tailor our approach and ensure you receive the highest levels of service.

We will also provide you with a Financial Services Guide, which will outline our services, and an indication of the range of fees you are likely to incur. This meeting is normally free of charge.

STEP 2 – RESEARCH

At the initial meeting, we will have provide you with a questionnaire to complete so that we have all the background information we need to research and develop an appropriate investment strategy to help achieve your goals. We will also determine your attitude to investment risk, and explain the potential benefits and consequences of particular general investment choices.

STEP 3 – ADVICE PRESENTATION

Once the first two steps have been completed we will provide you with a Letter of Engagement to confirm the terms of the service we will provide.

Our advice is the key service that we provide to you; the outcome of this advice will be presented to you in the form of a full report or ‘Statement of Advice’. Whilst there is no charge for our initial meeting at Step 1, where we establish if our services are appropriate for you, once we reach ‘Step 3′ we will let you know the costs of our initial advice, and if relevant our ongoing advice and service to you. Our objective is that you not only understand how much you are paying, but also what value you receive for your money.

STEP 4 – ADVICE IMPLEMENTATION & ONGOING SERVICE

Once we have reviewed the strategies together and you are content to proceed, we will then implement your plan. We will also agree on an ongoing level of service for reviewing your Statement of Advice. This is because developing and implementing our recommondations should never be considered as a one off event – it is an ongoing process which evolves as your investment goals change.

AAM Advisory strongly suggests that no person should act specifically on the basis of the information containe herein, but should obtain appropriate professional advice based upon their own personal circumstances including personal financial advice from a licenced financial adviser.
