STATEMENT FOR CERTIFIED HIGH NET WORTH INDIVIDUALS

I declare that I am a certified high net worth individual for the purposes of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005.  

I understand that this means:

(a) I can receive financial promotions that may not have been approved by a person authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority;

(b) The content of such financial promotions may not conform to rules issued by the Financial Conduct Authority;

(c) By signing this statement I may lose significant rights;

(d) I may have no right to complain to either of the following:

(i) the Financial Conduct Authority; or

(ii) the Financial Ombudsman Scheme

(e) I may have no right to seek compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

I am a certified high net worth individual because at least one of the following applies:

(a) I had, during the financial year immediately preceding the date below, an annual income to the value of £100,000 or more;

(b) I held, throughout the financial year immediately preceding the date below, net assets to the value of £250,000 or more.  Net assets for these purposes do not include:

(i) the property which is my primary residence or any loan secured on that residence;

(ii) any rights of mine under a qualifying contract of insurance within the meaning of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001; or

(iii) any benefits (in the form of pensions or otherwise) which are payable on the termination of my service or on my death or retirement and to which I am (or my dependants are), or may be, entitled.

I accept that I can lose my property and other assets from making investment decisions based on financial promotions.
