INVESTMENT SERVICES
The Financial Consultancy UK Ltd is permitted to advise on and
arrange (bring about) deals in investments.
With regard to investments which we have arranged for you, these
will not be kept under review but we will advise you upon your
request. However, we may contact you in the future by means of
an unsolicited promotion should we wish to contact you to discuss
the relative merits of an investment or service which we feel may
be of interest to you.
The Financial Consultancy UK Ltd does
not handle clients’ money. We never accept a cheque
made out to us (unless it is a cheque in settlement of charges
or disbursements for which we have sent you an invoice) or handle
cash.
MATERIAL INTERESTS
The Financial Consultancy UK Ltd offers independent advice, but
occasions can arise where we or one of our other clients will
have some form of interest in business being transacted for you.
If this happens or we become aware that our interests or those
of one of our other clients conflict with your interests, we
will write to you and obtain your consent before we carry out
your instructions, and detail the steps we will take to ensure
fair treatment.
TERMINATION OF AUTHORITY
You, or we, may terminate our authority to act on your behalf at
any time, without penalty. Notice of this termination must be
given in writing and will take effect from the date of receipt.
Termination is without prejudice to any transactions already
initiated which will be completed according to these terms of
business unless otherwise agreed in writing. You will be liable
to pay for any transactions made prior to termination and any
fees which may be outstanding.
RIGHT TO WITHDRAW
In the case of a non packaged product ISA or Pep recommended we
will inform you in writing of any right to withdraw or cancel
you may have or, if it is the case, we will inform you in writing
that no such rights will apply.
CLIENTS RISK
You are advised that because investments can fall as well as rise,
you may not get back the full amount invested. Past performance
is not necessarily a guide to future performance.
PAYMENT FOR SERVICES
We derive our income from a combination of fees paid to us by our
clients, and commission paid to us by life assurance companies
and the operators of collective investment schemes through which
investments are made.
If you or we propose to operate on a fee basis, we will agree
its basis, frequency and method with you in writing before we carry
out any chargeable work. A standard tariff of fees is available
upon request.
We shall tell you the amount of commission payable to us on any
life assurance contract or investment, or commission or other form
of benefit from the issuer of a security or from another intermediary.
In respect of any regular premium policy which we may recommend
should you subsequently cease to pay premiums on the policy and
in consequence we are obliged to refund the commission that has
been paid to us we reserve the right to charge you a fee representing
the amount we have to repay, for a period of up to four years after
commencement of the policy, but we will not charge the fee if you
exercise your right to cancel in accordance with the cancellation
notice sent to you by the life company.
ACCOUNTING TO YOU
Unless in exceptional circumstances, we will confirm to you in
writing the basis or our reason for recommending the transaction
executed on your behalf.
We will also make arrangements for all your investments to be
registered in your name unless you first instruct us otherwise
in writing. We will forward to you all documents showing ownership
of your investments as soon as practicable after we receive them;
where a number of documents relating to a series of transactions
is involved, we will normally hold each document until the series
is complete and then forward them to you.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES & RESTRICTIONS
Following the issue of this letter any subsequent advice or recommendation
offered to you will be based on your stated investment objectives,
acceptable level of risk and any restrictions you wish to place
on the type of investments or policies you are willing to consider.
Details of your stated investment objectives will be included
in the suitability letter we will issue to you to confirm our
recommendation. Unless confirmed in writing, to the contrary,
we will assume that you do not wish to place any restrictions
on the advice we give you.
