  • Statement for Self-Certified Sophisticated Individual

  • I declare that I am a self-certified sophisticated investor for the purposes of the Financial Services and Markets Act (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 Conduct Authority;


    b) the content of such financial promotions may not conform to rules issued by the Financial Conduct 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 Conduct Authority; or
    ii. the Financial Ombudsman Scheme; and


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


    I am a self-certified sophisticated investor because at least one of the following
    applies:


    a) 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;


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


    c) 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;


    d) 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.


    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.
