Financial Services

Although we are not authorised by the Financial Services Authority to conduct Investment Business, we are licensed by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales to provide certain limited investment services where these are complementary to or arise out of the professional services we are providing to you. Such advice may include:

• Advising you on investments generally, but not recommending a particular investment or type of investment;
• Advising on the sale of a contractually based investment other than disposing of any rights or interests which you may have as a member of a personal pension scheme;
• Advising and assisting you in transactions concerning shares or other securities not quoted on a recognised exchange;
• Managing investments or acting as trustee (or donee of a power of attorney) where decisions to invest are taken on the advice of an authorised person;

We may also, on the understanding that the shares or other securities of the company are not publicly traded:

• Advise the company, existing or prospective shareholders in relation to exercising rights, taking benefits or share options valuation and methods;
• Arrange any agreements in connection with the issue, sale or transfer of the company’s shares or other securities;
• Arrange for the issue of the new shares; and
• Act as the addressee to receive confirmation of acceptance of offer documents etc.

Should you require advice on investments, we will refer you to Pantheon Financial Management Ltd, ("Pantheon Financial") who are independent financial advisers, with whom we have a close working relationship. Pantheon Financial's private client services incorporate strategic retirement planning, the maintenance of income and capital through protection, the selection and management of investments, structured wealth management as well as residential mortgage advice. Consultants can advise on specialist investment and tax sheltering schemes that are not widely available in the commercial market place.

For the private investor there are a number of financial products and schemes available to create and protect future wealth. Some are more adventurous than others and in order to maximise these opportunities independent financial advice is always recommended.

Pantheon Financial also advise on Shareholder, Keyman and Corporate protection schemes (such as death-in-service and income protection schemes).

Pantheon Financial Management Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority. It is a member of the Pantheon Financial Ltd group of companies.
