Activities and protection

What the record covers, and how you are protected

  • In an insolvency process
    Money the firm held is returned through the appointed office holders, which takes time and can fall short. The FSCS covers eligible claims up to its limits, and the Ombudsman can still look at a complaint.
Show FCA detail (6 permissions)
  • Arranging (bringing about) deals in investments
  • Arranging safeguarding and administration of assets
  • Dealing in investments as agent
  • Making arrangements with a view to transactions in investments
  • Managing an unauthorised AIF
  • Managing investments

Limits on the record

  • Restriction on onboarding new customers and Assets restriction
    1. The Firm must cease, except with the Authority's prior written consent, onboarding new customers or taking additional subscriptions from existing customers. For the avoidance of doubt, this Requirement does not prevent the Firm from continuing to service existing customers. 2. The Firm has agreed restrictions on dealing with its assets so that it is able to support an orderly wind down.
  • This firm may handle your money in passing but must not hold it, so payments should go to the product provider, never to a personal account.
One supervisory condition set by the FCA

These are conditions the FCA places on the firm itself, covering things like capital it must hold and what it must report. They do not change what the firm may do for you.

  • Small Authorised UK AIFM (Sub-Threshold)
    The total value of assets under management by the firm must not exceed the relevant threshold as set out in Article 3(2) of AIFMD (as determined under Chapter II, section I of the AIFMD level 2 regulation). In the event that the relevant threshold is breached, the firm must submit an application for authorisation as a Full-scope UK AIFM to the FCA
