Sophisticated Investor Declaration 

Please read the following statement carefully and proceed to your application.

I declare that I am a self-certified sophisticated investor for the purposes of the restriction on promotion of non-mainstream pooled investments. I understand that this means:

–       a)     I can receive promotional communications made by a person who is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority which relate to investment activity in non-mainstream pooled investments;

–       b)     the investments to which the promotions will relate may expose me to a significant risk of losing all of the property invested.

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 today’s date.

b)     I have made more than one investment in an unlisted company in the two years prior to today’s date.

c)      I am working, or have worked in the two years prior to today’s date, 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 today’s date, a director of a company with an annual turnover of at least £1 million.
