Statement for Certified High Net Worth Individual
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:
- I can receive financial promotions that may not have been approved by a person authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority;
- the content of such financial promotions may not conform to rules issued by the Financial Conduct Authority;
- by signing this statement I may lose significant rights;
- I may have no right to complain to either of the following –
- the Financial Conduct Authority; or
- the Financial Ombudsman Scheme; and
- I may have no right to seek compensation from the Financial Services CompensationScheme.
I am a certified high net worth individual because at least one of the following applies:-
- I had, during the financial year immediately preceding the date below, an annual income to the value of £100,000 or more; or
- 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(a); 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.
