Invest with
Integrity

I make this statement so that I can receive promotional communications which are exempt from the restriction on promotion of non-mainstream pooled investments. The exemption relates to certified high net worth investors and I declare that I qualify as such because at least one of the following applies to me:

• I had, throughout 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 Annual income for these purposes does not include money withdrawn from my pension savings (except where the withdrawals are used directly for income in retirement).
• 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:
  • the property which is my primary residence or any money raised through a loan secured on that property; or
  • any rights of mine under a qualifying contract of insurance; or
  • 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
  • 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 will relate may expose me to a significant risk of losing all of the money or other property invested. I am aware that it is open to me to seek advice from an authorised person who specialises in advising on non-mainstream pooled investments.

I declare that I am a self-certified sophisticated investor for the purposes of the restriction on promotion of non-mainstream pooled investments. I understand this means:

I can receive promotional communications made by a person who is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority which relate to investment activity in non-readily realisable securities; the investments to which the promotions will relate may expose me to a significant risk of losing all of the property invested.

I am a self-certified sophisticated investor because, prior to the date of my ticking the "self-certified sophisticated investor" box, at least one of the following applies:

I am a member of a network or syndicate of business angels and have been so for at least the last six months;

I have made more than one investment in an unlisted company in the last two years;

I am working, or have worked during the last two years, in a professional capacity in the private equity sector, or in the provision of finance for small and medium enterprises;

I am currently, or have been in the last two years, a director of a company with an annual turnover of at least GBP1 million.

I accept that the investments to which the promotions will relate may expose me to a significant risk of losing all of the money or other property invested. I am aware that it is open to me to seek advice from someone who specialises in advising on non-readily realisable securities.

I declare that I am a Certified Sophisticated Investor for the purposes of the Financial Services and Markets Act (Financial Promotion) Order 2005. I understand that this means(1)

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:

a) the Financial Conduct Authority; or;
b) the Financial Ombudsman Scheme; and

I may have no right to seek compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

I am a Certified Sophisticated Investor because at least ONE of the following applies:

I am a member of a network or syndicate of business angels and have been so for at least the last six months prior to the date below;

I have made more than one investment in an unlisted company in the two years prior to the date below;

I am working, or have worked in the two years prior to the date below, in a professional capacity in the private equity sector, or in the provision of finance for small and medium enterprises;

I am currently, or have been in the two years prior to the date below, a director of a company with an annual turnover of at least 1 million pound.

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.
