Astute FMA is registered and regulated in the TRNC. It is imposable for a non UK registered company to be regulated by the FSA. Astute FMA follows all the guidance set out by the Central Bank here in the TRNC and also voluntarily follows the guidance that is set out by the FSA in the UK which is encapsulated in the statement “treating clients fairly”.



Although Astute FMA is not regulated in the UK all of the investment and product recommendations are regulated in the jurisdiction that they operate in. We take great care and diligence in the research we do before we make any recommendations. Individual investments will have different risk profiles which are explained and matched to each individual client’s needs and circumstances.



We are not a bank, we do not manage any investments and we do not hold any client money. If we did any of the aforementioned we would be in grave trouble with the central bank.

They currently stand as: -



We recognise that fair treatment of our customers is about adding value to the service we offer by aiming to:



 protect the interests of our customers at each stage of the product life cycle, from promotion right through to after sales service



 meet as best we can the unique needs of each customer by offering a transparent, efficient and professional service, and constantly reviewing our service to identify areas for improvement



This is a part of a working document. This is an area of management that we are always reviewing and endeavouring to implement as best we can by training our advisers and staff accordingly.
