Asset Management Solutions  Company Background

AMS is an independent limited company and was formed in late 1999 by former members of the Hyder Investments Ltd team, namely John Whittington, Sally Brooks and John George – all of whom are still directors of the company.

AMS has no corporate or other independent investors other than the directors – it is (we believe), the only truly independent specialist PFI services company. Because of this, you can be assured of independent views and services, delivered to you by a company whose only focus is to provide those views and services to you.

AMS’s clients include many of the leading players in the PFI industry in the UK. Reasons for contracting AMS to provide services or advice are numerous but include the need for services to be provided on an independent, arm’s length basis, a straight “value for money” outsourcing or the need to obtain the right amount of specialist, experienced advice at the right time. Many of AMS’s longer term support contracts are on a fixed price / schedule of services basis, which allows companies to budget and plan future costs with confidence.

With the PFI investments market now growing towards maturity, and an ever growing market in “secondary” investments, it is more important than ever to ensure that equity investments are sold as “unencumbered” share certificates. Experience shows that whenever there is any doubt or lack of clarity about where support services of any type are to be supplied to an investment, the price of the shares will be discounted. A services contract with AMS will help ensure the maximum price for an investment.
