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 and the restriction on promotion of speculative illiquid securities and non-readily realisable investments contained in the rules of the Financial Conduct Authority.
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 financial promotions referred to in (a) may not conform to rules issued by the Financial Conduct Authority;
(c) I can receive promotional communications that are exempt from the restriction on promotion of speculative illiquid securities and non-readily realisable securities;
(d) by signing this statement I may lose significant rights;
(e) I may have no right to complain to either of the following—
(i) the Financial Conduct Authority; or
(ii) the Financial Ombudsman Scheme;
(f) 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. Annual income for these purposes does not include money withdrawn from my pension savings (except where the withdrawals are used directly for income in retirement);
(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; or
(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; or
(iv) any withdrawals from my pension savings (except where the withdrawals are used directly for income in retirement).
I accept that the investments to which the promotions relate may expose me to significant risk of losing all of the money or other property invested. I accept that I can lose my property and other assets from making investment decisions based on financial promotions.
I am aware that it is open to me to seek advice from someone who specialises in advising on speculative illiquid securities, non-readily realisable securities and/or other investments.
