I make this statement so that I can receive promotional communications relating to non-readily realisable securities as a self-certified sophisticated investor. I declare that I qualify as a self-certified sophisticated investor because one of the below applies to me:
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 declaring myself as such I may lose significant rights; I may have no right to complain to either of the following: the Financial Conduct Authority; or the Financial Ombudsman Scheme;
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:
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.
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.
