The Abram Partnership is an independent adviser and will act on your behalf in advising you on products from the whole market.

INVESTMENT SERVICES
Abram Partnership LLP is permitted to advise on and arrange (bring about) deals in investments and mortgages. The particular investment types relate to life assurance, pensions, investments in authorised collective investment schemes, Unit Trust PEPs and ISAs.

With regard to investments which we have arranged for you, these will not be kept under review but we will advise you upon your request. However, we may contact you in the future by means of an unsolicited promotion should we wish to contact you to discuss the relative merits of an investment or service which we feel may be of interest to you.

The Abram Partnership does not handle clients’ money. We never accept a cheque made out to us (unless it is a cheque in settlement of charges or disbursements for which we have sent you an invoice) or handle cash.

CLIENT CLASSIFICATION
We classify all clients as private investors, unless otherwise advised in writing.

MATERIAL INTERESTS
The Abram Partnership offers independent advice, but occasions can arise when we or one of our other clients, may have some form of interest in business being transacted for you. If this happens or we become aware that our interests or those of one of our other clients conflict with your interests, we will write to you and obtain your consent before we carry out your instructions, and detail the steps we will take to ensure fair treatment.

TERMINATION OF AUTHORITY
You or we may terminate our authority to act on your behalf at any time, without penalty. Notice of this termination must be given in writing and will take effect from the date of receipt. Termination is without prejudice to any transactions already initiated which will be completed according to these terms of business unless otherwise agreed in writing. You will be liable to pay for any transactions made prior to termination and any fees which may be outstanding.

FINANCIAL SERVICES COMPENSATION SCHEME
We are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. You may be entitled to compensation from the scheme if we cannot meet our obligations. This depends on the type of business and the circumstances of the claim. Most types of investment business are covered for 100% of the first £30,000 and 90% of the next £20,000, so the maximum compensation is £48,000. Insurance advising and arranging is covered for 100% of the first £2,000 and 90% of the remainder of the claim, without any upper limit. Further information about the compensation arrangements is available from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
