TAM Europe Asset Management is the European arm of award-winning UK discretionary investment manager, TAM Asset Management Ltd. Our team of experienced investment professionals are committed to providing exceptional portfolio management services to individual clients and institutions around the world.

A DFM is a specialist investment manager that you authorise to manage your investment portfolio and make investment decisions on your behalf. A DFM will make investment decisions without your prior approval or consultation, and by selecting your chosen portfolio, you give explicit instruction to TAM to manage your money in line with that profile.

• Access to established portfolios managed by provenaward-winning investment managers with a long term track record
• Portfolios managed by people not machines
• Optional participation in an award nominated charitable donation scheme
• Exceptional online reporting – you can access your account 24/7 via your online login

Your assets are protected by being held in a designated pooled client asset or client money account with our custodian Pershing Securities International Limited (Pershing). This ensures that they are held separately and are easily distinguishable from both TAM’s and Pershing’s own assets in the unlikely event of a default by either TAM or Pershing. It means that they would not be considered to belong to either company and can therefore be easily allocated to you, the beneficial owner.

You will receive quarterly valuation and custody statements from TAM and Pershing (TAM’s custodian) respectively.You don’t have to do anything with these. They are sent to you for your information and to keep on record.

TAM does not store any of your access, account or personal detail online. Any time a request is made via the online web portal to amend any detail relating to your account, you will receive a text to the mobile phone number you have provided. If you have not made any changes yourself you should contact TAM immediately via phone on +34 871 183 840.

No action is taken to amend your account in any way from a simple change of email address to a request for a withdrawal without manual checks by TAM. Therefore, if you receive a text notifying you of changes to your account that you do not recognise out of UK office hours, you should still call the above number and leave a message. TAM will then contact you at 9am next day before any amends are made. This acts as a failsafe to ensure the security of your account.

• Review the educational pages accessed via the Seafarer Saver site here.
• If you determine an investment account is right for you, then choose from one of the eight fully managed investment portfolios.
• Decide if you want to participate in the charitable giving options provided, donating to your favourite cause, with TAM matching your donation via You Give We Give (for more details of this, see section 10 below).
• Send TAM your monies via bank transfer.
• Once your account is funded, you will be able log in to your online profile and see every aspect of your portfolio, from anywhere, at any time, on any device.

You will receive a welcome email confirming the details of your new TAM investment portfolio and a reminder of how to fund your account. If for any reason you have not received this, please contact TAM. Once you have funded your account, TAM will invest your monies as quickly as possible and let you know when you are able to log in to your online profile and see your new investments working for you.

If you change your mind before you receive confirmation from TAM that your funds have been invested, contact TAM to arrange return of your cash before your account is created. If you have received confirmation that your account has been opened, follow the instructions detailed in section 14.2 below.

Yes you can. All you need to do is set up a standing order with your bank and our details are below. Please ensure you put your account number as the bank reference:

The majority of communications you will receive will be online via email from TAM, and Pershing will also send quarterly valuations and custody statements to the address specified when you opened your account (or as subsequently amended by you). Instructions on how to use the Investor Portal are contained below.

Submitted applications are processed byTAM within 2 working days. TAM will be in touch to let you know that your application has been approved and again when they have received your funds. Only once your account is funded will your online account be set up – please allow up to 2 working days from receipt of this email before you try and log in from the website where you completed your application. If you still cannot log in after this time, please get in touch with TAM.

If you have a GIA or ISA then yes you can. It can take up to ten working days to receive your money after a withdrawal request has been processed, although we aim to complete such requests in five working days. However, in the case of some less liquid asset classes (such as property funds) this may at times take longer. This will normally be for reasons beyond our control, such as a manager temporarily suspending the trading of a fund. Typically, investment in less liquid funds only represents a relatively small part of our overall portfolios and whilst suspension of such funds is rare, you may not always be able to liquidate these holdings as quickly as expected.

To complete a withdrawal request, please follow the instructions detailed in section 15.2 below.

If you have a SIPP, then as per the pension rules you cannot withdraw the money until you reach a certain age. Please contact @SIPP directly to discuss your withdrawal query.

You can open a general investment account (GIA) for as little as £1000 with no maximum investment, or if you are a UK resident, you can open a tax efficient individual savings account (ISA) where you can invest up to £20,000, for the tax year 2020/21.

TAM can currently only accept applications for one account per person at the moment – a GIA or an ISA. TAM will advise by email when this changes.

Yes, but you can only open a GIA.

A general investment account (GIA) is an account for your general monies which can be opened with as little as £1000 and is not subject to any restrictions on limits unlike an ISA. Your money can be accessed at any time but as investing should be seen as something to undertake for the longer term, in order to give you the best chance of riding out short term fluctuations, it is always worth retaining some cash at the bank for those unforeseen little emergencies. Any gains taken within this type of account may attract Capital Gains Tax if those profits are above the HMRC annual exempt amount. Currently that limit sits at £12,000 for the tax year.

An ISA is an account where gains can be taken free of tax. Because of this benefit there is an annual limit on the amount you can invest. For the 2020/21 tax year this limit is £20,000. With an ISA you can withdraw your money at any time but you need to be careful to ensure you do not lose your ISA allowance on money withdrawn. ISAs are only available to UK residents.

Currently TAM only offer ISAs for new subscriptions. TAM are developing the systems to allow the acceptance of transfers from your existing provider and will advise by email if this becomes available.

No - only a stocks and shares ISA.

No, not yet. TAM will advise by email if this becomes available.

No, not yet. TAM will advise by email when a non-advised self-invested personal pension (SIPP) becomes available.

Unfortunately this isn't a service currently offered but may be developed in the future.

The Seafarer Saver currently offers globalised mainstream investment portfolios only.

The annual fee is just 1.30% inc. VAT per year to manage your portfolio and help you work towards your investment objectives. As with any service of this type, the underlying funds within a portfolio each carry an average annual cost know as anOngoing Charges Figure (OCF) and this is dependent upon the portfolio type and composition of the underlying investments, and may fluctuate over time.

You don’t need to do anything. TAM will automatically deduct all fees from your portfolio on a monthly basis, and you can view all transactions by logging in to your online account, whenever, wherever, on whatever device.

TAM do not charge any admin fees, but if you would like to withdraw some or all of your funds at any point, or if you cancel your account and subsequently your funds need to be returned to you, standard bank charges will apply. Our default payment method is via BACS at £10 per transaction and should take 3 working days to clear in your account. Same day payment can be requested and completed via CHAPS, costing £25 per transaction.

Your monies are invested in line with the style of investments and equity / non-equity split you have chosen for your portfolio. TAM only invests in regulated and/or listed funds. Where possible, they will invest in the institutional share classes. Your investment can go down as well as up and you may get back less than your original investment.

Your money will usually be invested as soon as the funds have cleared within TAM's bank. Bank transfers are usually received within 24 hours and it usually takes up to 10 working days for a cheque to clear.

TAM can never guarantee a particular return because past performance is not a guide for future gains. However the online application tool provides TAM’s multi-year track record and an illustration of the potential return for the portfolio you select during your application process. Please always bear in mind that investments don’t always go up and you could get back less than you invested.

See the instructions in Section 13 “Keeping Track Of Your Account” below. You can review your investment 24/7, all at the click of a button. TAM’s innovative online platform offers 24 hour access and complete reporting transparency for clients. It allows up to date portfolio valuations, and detailed analysis of investments, performance measurement and details of asset exposure. With a few clicks it is possible to draw a full management report of your chosen dates and style, which can be delivered as a .pdf ?le instantly.

TAM offer two different styles of investments and four different portfolio types within both of these styles. The different types relate to the equity / non-equity split in the portfolio:

• Moderate 35/65
• Balanced 50/50
• Growth 65/35

There is always an element of risk when investing as the value of investments can go down as well as up and you could end up with less than you originally invested. You may wish to consider certain aspects of your individual circumstances before you invest, such as your knowledge and experience of investing, retirement planning, affordability and savings. You may also wish to consider the risks associated with the various types of investments our managers may invest in before proceeding. You can find out more about this in the risk section of the Terms and Conditions.

You have 2 entirely optional choices to make a positive impact:

• The award nominated You Give We Give scheme - pledge a donation of a % of your investment profits to Save The Med when opening your account. TAM will match the % you choose by donating the same % of its management fee. If you make no gain, you make no donation. TAM will nevertheless donate the selected percentage from their management fee.
• Donate 0.5% of your initial investment.

During the application process, simply nominate Save The Med to benefit and select You Give We Give and/or a 0.5% donation.

Should a complaint occur, TAM would appreciate the opportunity to resolve any problems or difficulties for you.
