Investment Business
The Haines Watts Group consists of various firms in which Haines Watts Limited is a partner, member or shareholder, or firms controlled by such firms.
The majority of these firms are not authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, but because they are licensed by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, are able to offer a limited range of investment services to clients if they are incidental and / or complementary to, or arise out of, the other professional services they have been engaged to provide. For example: a) we can advise on the tax consequences of making particular investments; b) we can comment on advice given by an authorised person; and c) we can give general investment advice, but cannot advise about a specific investment product.
It is Haines Watts Group policy to refer most investment business, excluding corporate finance work, to HW Financial Services Limited, which is a member of the group and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, or to similarly authorised and regulated permitted third parties. Any work resulting from such a referral will be the subject of a separate engagement letter from the relevant firm, although the Financial Services Authority may or may not regulate the products or services mentioned in this web site.
For investor protection, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales administers, and the firm contributes to, a compensation scheme for clients who might need to seek redress.
