Investor Protection
One of our most important responsibilities is to ensure your assets are both safe and secure.
With this in mind, we have put in place a policy with a major insurance company, which provides substantial protection in addition to that offered by the Financial Services Compensation scheme (FSCS).
In general terms, as a client you will enjoy the following level of protection of your assets:-
Regulatory Protection
Under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), in the unlikely event that any of the banks that we use is declared in default, each individual client is entitled to up to a total of £50,000 in compensation for losses across all their deposits with that institution.
The FSCS also provides clients of Jarvis (and other organisations regulated by the FSA), compensation of up to £48,000 per investor for UK securities.
Additional Protection
In addition to the Regulatory Protection, as a client of ours you will enjoy further protection in the event of negligence, fraud or misappropriation through our professional indemnity policy. This provides further cover in excess of £3million. The Financial Services Authority (FSA) dictates the terms and conditions of the policy and the level of protection to Jarvis.
This protection only comes in to play should something happen, but of equal importance is the protection afforded to clients by the regular financial monitoring procedures of the FSA, HM Revenue and Customs and our Auditors., all of whom conduct regular reviews.
In the unlikely event that Jarvis ceased trading for any reason, creditors would not have any claim on client assets, either cash or stocks.
