High Net Worth Investor Statement - EIS Funds

I make this statement so that I can receive promotional communications which are exempt from the restriction on promotion of non-readily realisable securities, and/or non-mainstream pooled investments. The exemption relates to certified high net worth investors and I declare that I qualify as such because at least one of the following applies to me:

Please confirm whether you qualify as a high-net worth investor on the basis that A or B apply to you.

In the last financial year, did you have:

A. An annual income of £100,000 or more? Income does NOT include any one-off pension withdrawals. [required]
B. Net assets of £250,000 or more? Net assets do NOT include: your home (primary residence), your pension (or any pension withdrawals) or any rights under qualifying contracts of insurance. [required]
OR

I accept that being a high-net-worth investor will expose me to promotions for investment where there is a significant risk of losing all the money I invest.

I am aware that it is open to me to seek advice from an authorised person who specialises in advising on (1) non-readily realisable securities and/or (2) restricted mass-market investments.

I accept that I could lose all of the money I invest.
