Independence
As a wholly independent organisation we work on behalf of our clients – not a product provider or other financial institution. As such we always recommend the best possible solution for our clients needs and are fiercely committed to this independence as we feel it is the only way to deliver the best advice and maximum benefit.

Strong and Personal Client Relationships
Our clients represent more than just business partnerships. We see them as stakeholders in our success and aim to build long-standing relationships based on the professional delivery of value, mutual respect and trust. To achieve this we have developed our own adviser code which lays down the very high standards that our organization and members of it have chosen to adopt when helping clients. We give this to all our clients at the first meeting and explain how it benefits them.

Integrity
AES International is a leading organisation of independently owned and managed financial services and wealth management firms.

Member firms and their advisers either are or belong to separate independent firms. Each member is an independent legal, financial and administrative entity, commonly organised under the laws of the country where it practices.

The UK Company’s Office in London are where most of the Global Leadership Board Meetings take place, where the CEO and many key personnel are located and where global administrative and marketing functions are based. This company is AES Financial Services Ltd which is directly authorized and regulated by the UK Financial Services Authority. This means we are committed to providing the highest standards of advice and service.

All Member firms are expected to adhere to and show commitment to AES Internationals policies, procedures and methodologies. This involves:
Adopting AES Internationals methodologies, software and risk management requirements as appropriate
Adopting AES Internationals quality assurance and ethical policies including those related to independence
Giving advice we believe in and would take ourselves
Clearly and openly demonstrating the value we provide
Avoiding conflicts of interest
Agreeing clear expectations
Adopting a truthful and straightforward approach, even if the message is difficult
Consulting and communicating in an open manner

Teamwork
An essential part of organizational life is the ability to build strong, highly motivated teams to tackle issues. Solutions brought about through this process have more breadth and more certainty of success.
We believe that our advisers are the best in the industry and this is reflected in the number of clients that retain our services year after year. However, we refuse to sit still and so continually push our employees, both advisers and non-advisers, to improve their knowledge by taking further professional exams and gaining additional experience. We strongly believe that this has a positive impact on the professionalism of our company and the service standards we are able to deliver to our clients.
We are not naive enough to think that our advisers know everything; nobody does. As a larger organization, we therefore support them with a centralised technical department where we have experts in specialist areas such as tax mitigation, insurance, trusts and pensions. These resources can be called upon in more complex cases and are used to ensure every recommendation we make is well researched and right for the client.

Taking Responsibility
We are very serious about the successful provision of our services. We treat all our employees as equals and have a strong sense of responsibility to our colleagues, clients and organisation. This means that we:
Demonstrate trust and faith in each other
Delegate and encourage people to take responsibility as early as possible
Adopt a proactive approach to resolving problems
Lead by example
