Client notices

Professional investor notices prepared from the client record, approved by two people and sent each year.

Module 10 · Client notices

Checks

01
Which clients

Every professional investor gets a notice. Institutional professional investors and the firm's own funds do not, as the SFC Code allows.

02
One letter, two parts

Each client receives the professional investor part. Discretionary clients also receive the discretionary account part.

03
Your approved wording

Letters are made from your firm's own template. Operations uploads it, and Compliance approves it before it is used.

04
A relationship manager's own letter

A relationship manager can upload their own letter. It becomes the notice and goes through the same approval steps.

05
Sender and approver

The person who sends a notice cannot also approve it.

06
Versions kept

A new version does not delete an earlier notice. Each letter sent stays on record.

The control

Each notice reads the client's details from the client record. If a detail is blank, or two records disagree, the notice is held for a person and not sent.
