Services
Investment Planning
Our investment solutions help clients grow wealth through diversified portfolios tailored to individual risk profiles and financial goals. We conduct comprehensive market analysis to select optimal funds, platforms, and tax wrappers. With access to the entire market, we ensure clients receive impartial advice on investments that align with their long-term objectives while maintaining flexibility for life changes.
Retirement Strategy
We create bespoke retirement plans using advanced cash flow modelling to ensure financial security throughout retirement. Our strategies consider current assets, desired lifestyle, and tax implications to determine sustainable withdrawal rates. By regularly reviewing pension provisions and market conditions, we help clients navigate complex regulations while maximising retirement income potential through both personal and workplace pension arrangements.
Tax Mitigation
Our tax planning services identify legitimate opportunities to reduce tax liabilities across income, capital gains, and inheritance taxes. We specialise in enterprise investment schemes, venture capital trusts, and business asset disposal relief strategies. While not tax advisers, we collaborate with accountants to implement investment structures that enhance tax efficiency within HMRC guidelines, ensuring clients retain more of their hard-earned wealth.
Life Protection
We provide comprehensive protection solutions including life insurance, critical illness cover, and income protection tailored to family needs. Our independent status allows comparison across multiple insurers to find optimal coverage at competitive premiums. Policies are designed to safeguard against financial hardship from unexpected events, with regular reviews ensuring protection levels remain adequate as life circumstances evolve.
Mortgage Advice
Our mortgage advisory service helps clients navigate competitive markets to secure optimal home financing solutions. We assess borrowing requirements against lender criteria to identify suitable products with favourable terms. Beyond initial arrangements, we provide ongoing support for remortgaging opportunities and protection strategies, ensuring mortgage commitments align with broader financial objectives while minimising long-term costs.

I'm very happy with the service I received from Chris H at Abram Partnership. Chris is both professional and approachable. His explanation of investment options, risks and returns was very clear. He was also very keen to understand my investment goals, as well as my attitude towards risk. Highly recommended.

Thank you to Chris from Abram Partnership Ltd - Bristol for helping me set up my health insurance. Chris was efficient and made sure that all of my health conditions were listed but underwritten so I can return after 5 years with a problem if I needed to. I didn't think it would be possible with such a complex variety of conditions but Chris knew exactly what to do. Not only has Chris helped with setting everything up, he has kept checking in and is always thinking of how he can better serve his customers. Chris is now helping with my husbands pension and we will continue to use his services. Thank you again Chris.

His freindly, approachable, helpful style enabled us to really dig into our financial situation and get ourselves into a much stronger position. He works hard to ensure that your values and what's important to you is accomodated at every point in the process. Would highly recommend working with Chris, whatever your financial circumstances.
