Financial Services Compensation Scheme
From 14 January, subject to confirmation, clients will be protected by this scheme which provides for the funding of losses that come about as a result of the firm's inability to meet its liabilities.
We are a financially robust company with Professional Indemnity Insurance well in excess of the minimum requirements of the Financial Services Authority. Consequently, we think this is highly unlikely to occur but if it did you can be secure in the knowledge that the scheme would compensate legitimate claimants for:
- The first £2,000 in full and, where appropriate,
- 90% of the amount in excess of £2,000; or
- 100% in case of compulsory classes of insurance
More information can be found on the FSCS website www.fscs.org.uk or the Financial Services Authority (FSA) website www.fsa.gov.uk/consumer/.
