Our Complaints Procedures

acknowledge the complaint in writing promptly

make contact to seek clarification on any points where necessary

fully investigate the complaint

keep you informed of our progress

discuss with you our findings and proposed response

 You will receive contact from us advising on progress if we cannot respond immediately. We will let you have our final response as soon as possible and not later than eight weeks.

 

 We will be the first contact if you have any complaints. However, you can also refer your complaints to the Financial Ombudsman Service if:

 

you have already received our final response. The complaint must be referred to the Financial Ombudsman Service no later than 6 months after the date on which we sent you the final response; or

eight weeks have lapsed since we received your complaint. However, the complaint will not be considered by the Financial Ombudsman Service if it is referred more than 6 years after the event complained of or more than 3 years from the date on which you should have reasonably become aware that you had cause for complaint.

Adviser or Provider

 Clients often express dissatisfaction to their adviser about the product provider. We will need to establish whether or not your complaint relates to the advice given, the adviser service or the service or performance of the product provider. If unclear, this must not delay investigation and we will proceed with our own investigation. The complaints manager will review this matter and take the complaint to the provider if appropriate in consultation with you.

 

Investigation

 The complaints manager will establish the nature and scope of your complaint having due regards to the Financial Conduct Authority’s direction:

 

Deal with complaints promptly and fairly

Give complainants clear replies and, where appropriate, fair redress

Eligible Complainants

 It is the firm’s policy to treat all complainants the same, however, eligible complainants are legally defined and have additional rights in law that we must acknowledge and adhere to.

 

 

Eligible complainants are those who have a potential claim against a firm based whereby it believes he/she has suffered a financial loss due to poor advice or service that are:

 

Private Individuals

Companies within the EU definition of a microenterprise

Charities with an income of under £1,000,000

Trustees of a trust with assets of under £1,000,000

Professional clients and eligible counterparties where the person is an individual acting for purposes outside his trade, business, craft or profession

 The Financial Conduct Authority complaints rules apply to complaints:

 

• made by, or on behalf of an eligible complainant;

 

• relating to regulated activity;

 

• involving an allegation that the complainant has suffered, or may suffer, financial loss, material distress or material inconvenience;

 

• not resolved by close of business on the day following receipt;

 

• referred directly to the Ombudsman Service where the complainant and the firm have both consented to the FOS investigation

 

Final response

 

 This will set out clearly the firm’s decision and the reasons for it. If any compensation is offered a clear method of calculation will be shown.

 

We must include details of the Financial Ombudsman Service in the final response if dealing with an eligible complainant and a regulated activity, we will:

 

explain that the complainant must refer the matter to the ombudsman within six months of the date of this letter or the right to use this service is lost

 

 

Analysis

 

 A root cause analysis will be undertaken by the firm in the case of any complaint and this will be recorded with the appropriate action having been taken.

 

Closing a complaint

 Where the firm has sent a final response; or where you have indicated in writing acceptance of the firm’s earlier response to confirm that you are satisfied with the findings of the investigations and any resolution

 

 We will consider the complaint closed once we have issued to you our final response letter

 

Financial Ombudsman Service
