We offer independent financial advice, but occasions can arise where we, or one of our other customers, will have some form of interest in business that we are transacting for you.  If this happens, or we become aware that our interests or those of one of our other customers conflict with your interests, we will inform you in writing and obtain your consent before we carry out your instructions.

 

In relation to an insurance policy IF YOU SUBSEQUENTLY CEASE TO PAY PREMIUMS ON THE POLICY, OR CANCEL THE POLICY and in consequence we are obliged to refund commission that has been paid to us, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHARGE YOU A FEE based on no more than the amount of commission we are required to return to the company BUT WE WILL NOT CHARGE A FEE IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL THE POLICY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CANCELLATION NOTICE SENT TO YOU BY THE LIFE OFFICE.

 

 

When we have arranged any investments for which you have given instructions, we will not give you any further advice unless you request it, but will be glad to advise you at any time you ask us to do so.

 

 

 

We prefer instructions to be given to us in writing to avoid any possible disputes.  If any instructions are given orally then they should be confirmed in writing.  We may refuse at our discretion to accept certain instructions, although such discretion will not be exercised unreasonably.

 

 

We keep records of all your transactions for at least six years.  You, or your appointed agent, have the right to inspect the records at a mutually convenient time.  As we treat all our clients’ records as confidential, we reserve the right to give you copies of our records where in certain circumstances to release the original would compromise other clients’ confidentiality.

 

 

We will register all investments in your name unless otherwise agreed in writing.  All contract notes and documents of title in respect of your investment will be forwarded to you, unless otherwise instructed in writing, as soon as practicable after being received by us.  Where a number of documents relating to a series of transactions are involved, we will normally retain the documents until the series is complete and then we will forward them to you.

 

 

You, or we, may terminate our authority to act on your behalf under these terms of business at any time, without penalty.  Notice of this termination must be given in writing and will take effect immediately upon receipt of the notice.  Termination will not prejudice the completion of transactions already initiated on your behalf or any rights or obligations already arising.

 

 

We never accept a cheque made out to us (unless it is a cheque in settlement of our charges or disbursements for which we have sent you a fee note) or handle cash.

 

 

We will classify you as a retail client for investment business unless otherwise agreed in writing.
