Certified High Net Worth Individual?

I declare that I am a certified high net worth individual for the purposes of the UK Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Promotion of Collective Investment Schemes) (Exemptions) Order 2001. I understand that this means:

(a) I can receive promotions, made by a person who is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, which relate to units in unregulated collective investment schemes that invest wholly or predominantly in unlisted companies;

(b) the schemes to which the promotions will relate are not authorised or recognised for the purposes of the UK Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. I am a certified high net worth individual because at least one of the following applies:

1. I had, during the financial year immediately preceding the date below, an annual income to the value of £100,000 or more;

2. I held, throughout the financial year immediately preceding the date below, net assets to the value of £250,000 or more. Net assets for these purposes do not include:

a. the property which is my primary residence or any loan secured on that residence;
b. any rights of mine under a qualifying contract of insurance within the meaning of the UK Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001; or
c. any benefits (in the form of pensions or otherwise) which are payable on the termination of my service or on my death or retirement and to which I am (or my dependants are), or may be, entitled. 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 unregulated collective investment schemes.
