Where we agree to provide a one-off assignment this will usually entail the provision of advice on specific topics or matters, and where appropriate the recommendation and arrangement of specific investment and protection products and solutions.
For example, you might want us to review your current pension arrangements to confirm whether you are on track to achieve your target retirement income and are also optimising your opportunities regarding contribution levels, investment performance and cost. If you are nearing or at retirement you might want help considering your retirement options.
Or perhaps you need to be sure that your investments are performing as they should and that you are not exposed to inappropriate risks or unnecessary charges.
Even if you are confident that everything is already running smoothly, you might need help in deciding how to pass down wealth to younger generations of your family, whilst making sure that you hold enough back to secure your own financial needs.
This service may therefore be suitable if you are looking for a specific piece of one-off advice, limited to a particular area and is only likely to be suitable where ongoing advice or monitoring of your financial plan or investments is not needed.
The service charge will be based on the amount of work required to meet your needs and is usually provided on a fixed fee basis and follows on from the Financial Planning Assessment Service which will have identified your wider financial planning needs.
The Investment Management Service (IMS) is an advisory, investment fund / portfolio focused service. Following on from the Financial Planning Assessment, and where suitable, we will recommend this service to clients who are looking to invest in funds or a portfolio with specific aims and objectives where a simpler and “lighter touch” client relationship and ongoing service can achieve their goals.
The investment approach will generally be based on lower cost and lower maintenance passive investment strategies and funds and includes a telephone-based annual review of client aims, risk and portfolio performance.
Pension investments may be included within this service although it is likely that more complex arrangements, such as pension drawdown and decumulation strategies, will need to fall under our Wealth Management Service.
The Wealth Management Service (WMS) is a holistic, sophisticated and ongoing advice focused process that takes care of all your financial planning and investment management needs. This service is tailored to your specific requirements and delivered by a dedicated team of experienced professionals, led by a chartered financial planner. This is an advice focused service and whether you are planning for retirement or want to protect and preserve your wealth, we provide expert advice and tailored recommendations to help you to achieve your financial goals and objectives.
The bespoke nature of the WMS means that we are able to accommodate a wide range of wealth levels from the perspective of assets placed under our advisory management.
This Service has an all-inclusive charge that covers most eventualities. For example, once your money is invested in the WMS, we do not charge arrangement/transaction or advice fees for subsequent changes to the investments. Additionally, if a further Financial Planning Assessment is required this is included.
Our dedicated and highly skilled chartered advisers take the time to understand your needs and objectives. That is why our current clients have been with us for, on average, over 20 years. In fact, many of PMW’s client relationships have provided a 40-year plus track record of success in facilitating the achievement of financial goals and delivering on our promises. In some cases we are now acting on behalf of the 4th successive generation of a family.
At Partridge Muir & Warren, we understand that you want to protect yourself and do everything you can to ensure your loved ones are well looked after, whatever the future may hold. That is why we formed our sister company, PMW Trust, dedicated to probate administration, will writing & estate planning. Our purpose is to ensure that you are prepared for any eventuality and that you and your loved ones receive consistent, unbiased and professional advice when it is needed most.
You will never find any hidden costs or surprises with PMW. We are committed to explaining all our charges before you proceed with any service. These charges will depend on the specific service you require, and the nature of the advice we provide you with. But rest assured, there will be nothing unexpected at any stage.

What is a ‘Chartered Financial Planner’?
2
Chartered status is the accepted ‘gold standard’ for UK financial planners and advisers. It shows an accomplished level of competence and experience as well as continued dedication to the profession.
For an individual to be granted Chartered status, they must complete in the region of 14 exams in a range of aspects of financial services and related subjects. For a company to be given Chartered status, it must prove its commitment to professional standards at the highest level.
As a Chartered company, we are committed to providing the highest standards of advice. We are also fully focused on making sure our advisers work to ethical standards at all times in the interests of our clients.

What is the difference between a financial adviser and a wealth manager?
3
Where financial advice is focused on investment, wealth management is geared more towards an all-inclusive and ongoing financial planning approach, with all aspects of an individual’s financial situation considered. Wealth management for example may incorporate savings and investment strategies, tax planning, will writing, estate planning and wealth preservation, plus any other advisory and planning services required to help manage your finances effectively, allowing you to meet your overall goals and needs. This could include making arrangements to safeguard your family’s future; selecting the most efficient way to take an income; the separation of business and personal assets; cash flow and budgeting, and more.
4
What is ‘independent’ financial planning and advice?
4
Independent financial planners have access to financial products from the entire market, rather than being tied to a single provider or insurer. This means you will receive unbiased recommendations and advice that works for you as an individual.
5
What are the benefits of using a wealth manager?
5
A wealth manager applies specialist expertise and experience to lessen the risk involved with any investment, and to optimise returns over a prolonged period of time, helping clients achieve all their financial goals, both for the short and long term. Wealth managers make certain that an investment strategy is planned around the best interests of their clients, taking into consideration everything that matters personally, professionally and in a family sense.
