| Your Protection | |
We prefer instructions to be in writing. If instructions are given orally they should also be confirmed in writing. We may refuse at our discretion to accept certain instructions, although such discretion will not be exercised unreasonably. Except in respect to settlement of our invoices for agreed fees, cheques should be made payable to the product providers only. We do not accept cash payment. We will normally register all products and/or investments in your name unless otherwise instructed in writing. In certain circumstances products and/or investments may be registered in the name of a nominee company, for ease of administration, although you will remain the beneficial owner of those products and/or investments. If we become aware that our interests, or those of another client, conflicts with your interests, we will inform you in writing and obtain your consent prior to proceeding with your instructions.

Insurance business may be covered for all of the first £2,000 and 90% of the remainder of the claim, without any upper limit.
