Our Advice

We predominantly recommend our own investment services and solutions. Our investment advice is therefore Restricted Advice under the rules of our regulator the Financial Conduct Authority.

In the event that our own investment solutions are not suitable we may recommend investment products and services provided by other product providers selected from across the marketplace.

We do not provide advice on the following types of investment: –

  • • Unregulated Collective Investment Schemes
  • • Qualified Investor Schemes
  • • Derivatives contracts

For insurance and annuities we will make a recommendation after researching the whole of the market.

We are committed to dealing with complaints effectively and fairly in accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority’s complaint handling rules and guidance. If you have cause to complain, it will be dealt with by a dedicated person focused on ensuring that clients are treated fairly during the process.

Best Execution

When transmitting investment orders on your behalf we will take all sufficient steps to ensure the best possible result for you. This is referred to as best execution.

We may transmit or place the order via an investment platform operator, directly with a fund manager or with a stockbroker, to execute your order.

Our best execution policy is available on request.

 

 

Meeting our obligations under the Revised Shareholder Rights Directive II

We are required by this Directive to explain whether we have an engagement policy in relation to the companies we invest in where these companies’ shares are admitted to trading on a regulated market.

Our investment portfolios generally consist solely of collective investment schemes. Only occasionally do we hold individual shares on behalf of clients.

This approach to investment, together with the size of our organisation, means the proportion of shares we hold in investee companies is very low. We are not able to engage with investee companies to the extent envisaged by the Shareholder Rights Directive II.

We therefore do not have a formal engagement policy.
