The decision to use the services of a financial planning practice is fraught with difficulties for many a professional, due partly to the vaguaries of the financial services industry over the last 30 years or so.

The advent of the Retail Distribution Review (known as RDR) in January 2013 by the FSA, our regulatory body, has caused many practices to have to find out how to move away from their high-commission paying business models.

There’s also the question of competence and qualifications.  Many financial planning businesses are not yet able to continue trading by the end of 2012 if they don’t address this issue very quickly indeed.  Patterson-Mills is already in a position to meet (indeed exceed) the new FSA requirements.
All in all, we aim to provide you with the piece of mind that your Clients will obtain:

• highly professional, competent advice
• top-notch customer service
• outstanding value for money
• wholly independent advice from the whole of market, for everything
