I first met Simon Lewis at a pre-retirement seminar run by my employer in mid ‘90s. It was my first experience of wealth management and at that time had little surplus wealth to invest, but I signed up.
I retired after a career which included long periods on contract working outside UK, and so I have neither a full state pension, nor a maximum employer’s pension. Management of our savings is thus of great importance, as regular withdrawals provide a top up to our income.
Over the years we have learnt more about PMW and Simon, who is now CEO, and have come to trust their investment philosophy. It is completely tailored to our requirements, as a result of in depth and regular discussion with us. PMW have what I regard as an intensive doubting style. They do not take potential investment funds at face value, but dig under the surface to determine whether the fund is sound, before investing. They also ensure that the fund continues to perform.
Not only are we able to withdraw a regular income from our savings and achieve an agreed, and satisfactory, capital appreciation, but we have also called on our funds from time to time to buy a larger item such as a new car, and the funds have been released and available quickly.
We have no hesitation in recommending PMW to you. Our funds are managed prudently and professionally and we have confidence that they will manage your funds in the same way.

Inheritance Tax (IHT) is a tax payable on the value of a person’s estate when they die. If the value of the estate exceeds the current applicable IHT threshold, also known as the nil rate band, and with exemptions factored in, then IHT will be charged at the prevailing rate.
There are various strategies we can use to reduce the amount of Inheritance Tax your beneficiaries pay. Every situation is different, and because tax legislation is constantly evolving, the advice with which we provide you will be wholly bespoke. We may for example suggest creating trusts, lifetime gifting, making use of the residence allowance, changing the way property is owned or leaving a charitable legacy. These are just some examples of IHT planning strategies.
On your passing, it will be down to your executors to calculate the IHT liability and ensure anything due is paid. The liability will usually need to be paid within six months of the date of death. If it is not, then HMRC will usually apply interest.
At PMW, we have always been committed to providing a transparent and unbiased pricing structure across our complete range of services. With our Inheritance Tax planning advice therefore, you will never find any hidden charges, and you will always be kept fully aware of the costs involved.
Once we have assessed your needs we will arrange an initial meeting at our offices in Esher, Surrey. We can also offer a virtual meeting if this is your preference. The meeting will be with one of our Chartered Financial Planners and will be at our expense (you will not be charged). The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss your circumstances and objectives and understand what we can do to help. Advice will not be provided at your first meeting, although if we believe we can help you to achieve your objectives we will explain your options and outline any costs.
