Inexperienced Investors

As required by the FSA, we offer additional investment safeguards for inexperienced investors

We provide investment advisory services, non-discretionary investment management and arrange transaction in shares, government bonds, currencies and units of collective investment schemes in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. This is subject to the rules and regulations of FSA, and the Code of Conduct, which require us to act in the best interests of our customers.

In respect of those of your investments for which we provide services, we are proceeding on the basis that your current investment objective is primarily to maximise capital growth, that the amount of volatility you are prepared to accept is within the range to be expected for any single equity country fund, but that you are not intending to use any advice we may offer for the purposes of dealings in penny shares, warrants, options, derivatives or any contracts for differences.
If this is incorrect, you should consult an Independent Financial Adviser, as some of the investments may be unsuitable. Under the rules of FSA, we may recommend to you only investments which we have reasonable grounds for believing are suitable for you. If you wish us to act for you in this capacity, please complete the forms for an Independent Financial Adviser and provide us with information about your financial circumstances.

Our subscription charges are as indicated elsewhere on this website. Any alteration will be notified to you on renewal. Charges for bespoke services are by agreement in advance.

Any personal visits, telephone conversations or other interactive dialogue related to our role as an Independent Financial Adviser for you will be a solicited financial promotion, once you have completed and returned that form.

Investment in stock market listed securities and collective investment vehicles carries various financial risks and investing traps. These include partial or complete loss of capital, adverse foreign exchange movements and dividend reductions.

We will be acting as an independent agent and not as a tied agent in respect of any packaged investment products that we may provide. We may receive the standard commission of each vendor, unless we have previously agreed to rebate such charges in your favour.

When we give investment advice, we, an associated company or some other person connected with us, may have an interest, relationship or arrangement that is material to the investment concerned. However our staff is required to comply with a policy of independence and disregard any such interest when making recommendations to you.
