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 Services Authority;
(b) the content of such financial promotions may not confirm to rules issued by the Financial Services 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 Services 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.
I am aware that it is open to me to seek advice from someone who specialises in advising on investments.
