Market Abuse Declaration (Personal Account Dealing)

Definition

Where any individual within the firm transacts, on his or her own account, in a designated investment.

Exclusions

Government and public securities, e.g. Gilts
Life policies
Units within a regulated collective investment schemes, e.g. Unit Trust
Discretionary transactions where the employee has had no prior awareness and where the firm has not exercised the discretion

Application

In essence, the rules on personal account transactions are to protect the interests of the consumer. For example, fact-finding discussions with a customer may reveal sensitive information about his/her employer; information, which could have a positive or detrimental affect on the employer’s share price. Any individual within the firm could use this to his or her advantage and may not, therefore, be acting in the interests of the customer. Furthermore, the customer could be in breach of ‘Insider Dealing’ rules as a result. Such conflicts are rare, however it is important that they are identified and that the firm always puts the client’s interests first.

Approval

All personal account transactions must be approved, in advance, by your Compliance Officer. Under no circumstances may a personal account transaction be initiated without prior approval. Approval must be granted in writing.

Back-door Personal Account Transactions

It is not permissible for any individual within the firm to procure any other person to enter into a personal account transaction with a view to circumventing. Furthermore, it is not permissible for any individual within the firm to communicate any information or opinion to any other person if he knows, or ought to know, that the other person will, as a result, enter into such a transaction, or procure any other person to do so.

Record-keeping

Personal account transactions must be notified to your Compliance Officer using a ‘request for personal account transaction approval form’.

All records must be retained by the firm and its Appointed Representatives, where relevant, for a period of not less than three years from the date the individual ceases to be engaged by the firm.

The Compliance Officer will maintain a record of received approval forms.

Declaration

I confirm that I have read and understood the above Personal Account Dealing procedures and acknowledge that these form part of my contractual obligations to the firm. Furthermore, I undertake to seek a determination from the Compliance Officer should there be any situation where it is unclear as to whether the transaction is deemed a personal account transaction or otherwise.

By signing electronically, you agree this constitutes your signature and is legally binding in the same way as a handwritten signature, and you confirm that you have answered all sections honestly and to the best of your ability, have read all applicable declarations and will work within their scope, and, if applicable, you authorise Straker Financial Services to carry out all relevant checks.

4.1 Status of the Adviser

The grant/acceptance of this appointment does not create any mutual obligations on the part of the Company or the Adviser to offer/accept any further appointment and no continuing relationship shall hereby be created or implied.

The Adviser’s relation to the Company is that of a self-employed person. The Adviser shall be responsible for all taxes and contributions (including, but not limited to, income tax and national insurance, where applicable) in respect of all amounts paid or payable to the Adviser under or in relation to this Agreement.

The Adviser hereby agrees to indemnify the Company in respect of any claims that may be made by the relevant authorities against the Company in respect of any such taxes and/or contributions, including interest and penalties, relating to the Adviser’s Services provided to the Company under this Agreement.

The Adviser shall be responsible for their expenses and, where applicable, VAT.

Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to constitute or give rise to a partnership, joint venture, agency or any employment relationships between the Parties, or any employment relationship between any Adviser, and the Company, or any other fiduciary relationship, other than the contractual relationship expressly provided for in this Contract of Services Agreement.

5. Remuneration

The Adviser will represent the Company initially as a non-CAS Adviser and will receive 65% of commissions paid to the Company by the Lender and Provider for self-generated leads.

Once the Adviser has received full CAS (Competent Adviser Status), they will receive 75% of commissions paid to the Company on all self-generated leads.

For leads generated by the company or an introducer, 50% will be paid to the Adviser from commissions received by the Company for the successful completion of ‘the work’ with the client.

Once the Adviser has banked mortgage proc fees of £50,000 from the beginning of the year (January), and if they are CAS, they will receive 80% of commissions paid to the Company by the Lender and Provider for self-generated leads from that point on until the end of that year (December). After Which time, the commission amount for self-generated leads will revert back to 75%.

Indemnity payments for insurance policies are made in four installments, over a four year period. This reduces risk to Straker Financial Services and the Adviser alike from cancelled insurance policies (clawbacks).

If the Adviser chooses a provider on our internal “Staggered List” (displayed on our CRM), each yearly commission payout will also be staggered over a set amount of months determined by the Company. The providers on the staggered list may change throughout the year, at which point the Adviser will be notified via the CRM.

Depending on the insurance company, commission paid will have a 2 or 4 year clawback period, unless taken on a non-indemnified basis. If taken on indemnified, an additional 20% will be retained from the first year commission payment by the Company for clawback purposes and will be paid to the Adviser after the 2 or 4 year clawback period has passed.

The Adviser will be liable to pay for any clawbacks on commissions they have been paid, with the first 20% being taken from their pot and the outstanding amount from the Advisers future commissions. If the Adviser does not have enough funds in their pot to cover the 20%, the clawback amount, including the 20%, will be taken entirely from the Advisers commissions. If the Adviser does not have sufficient commissions available, the Adviser agrees to pay the outstanding clawback amount into the company account via bank transfer. This money must be paid within a timescale set by the company.

Separate policies for the same client will be paid to the Adviser as individual policies and therefore each individual policy will adhere to the aforementioned four year commission structure.

Providers may charge the company interest on outstanding clawbacks - this interest charge will be passed on to the Adviser if they cannot pay within the timescale set by the company. If the Adviser has any doubt as to whether they will be in a financial position to pay back a policy clawback, they must request the commissions for that policy as non-indemnified.

Any additional fees accrued, such as solicitor, debt collection and court fees, due to failure to pay back money owed for cancelled insurance policies, will be added to the initial debt and paid back by the Adviser.

The Adviser will receive a 5% override on any additional Advisers brought to the Company by them, the initial Adviser. This 5% override will be for the first three submitted deals only. The initial Adviser will be required to pay back the 5% override, if any of the first three policies are insurance policies and lapse.

The option for Advisers to build and manage their own teams is at the full discretion of the Company.

The Adviser acknowledges that he/she has no right to make any claim against the Company should the client fail to make payments for any reason.

The Adviser is responsible for all charges, disbursements, and expenses he/she incurs in performing his/her duties under this Agreement.

The Adviser may be charged a £50 admin fee, which will be taken off of their commissions, for additional administration work carried out by Straker Financial Services if they (the Adviser) do not adequately update and maintain policy information on the CRM. This will be on a policy by policy basis.

The Adviser shall be liable for, and shall indemnify the Company against, any costs, liability, damages claims or proceedings arising from the Work under this Agreement.
The Adviser shall obtain, pay for and maintain with a reputable insurance company (reasonably acceptable to the Company) during the continuance of this Agreement and for a period of six years after termination of this Agreement, policies of insurance in such amounts and against such risks on a prudent person carrying on the same activities as the Adviser would carry on.
Each party undertakes that it shall not at any time during the Work, and for a period of five years after termination of this Agreement, disclose to any person any confidential information concerning the business, affairs, customers, clients, or suppliers of the other party, except as permitted by clause 9.
Each party may disclose the other party's confidential information to its employees, officers, representatives, sub-contractors, or Advisers who need to know such information for the purposes of carrying out the party's obligations under this Agreement. Each party shall ensure that its employees, officers, representatives, subcontractors, or Advisers to whom it discloses the other party's confidential information comply with this clause 9; and as may be required by law, a court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental or regulatory authority.
Neither party shall use the other party's confidential information for any purpose other than to perform its obligations under the Contract.

11. Force Majeure

No Party to this Agreement shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing their obligation where such failure or delay results from any cause that is beyond the reasonable control of that Party (“Force Majeure”). Such causes include, but are not limited to: industrial action, civil unrest, fire, flood, storms, earthquakes, acts of terrorism, acts of war, governmental action or any other event that is beyond the control of the Party in question.

If a Party to this Agreement cannot perform their obligations hereunder because of Force Majeure for a continuous period of three months, the other Party may at its discretion terminate this Agreement by written notice at the end of that period. In the event of such termination, the Parties shall agree upon a fair and reasonable payment for all work completed up to the date of termination. Such payment shall consider any prior contractual commitments entered into in reliance on the performance of this Agreement.

The Adviser warrants, represents and undertakes that it will comply with all relevant statutes, laws, regulations, and codes of practice from time to time in force.

Status of the Adviser

The grant/acceptance of this appointment does not create any mutual obligations on the part of the Company or the Adviser to offer/accept any further appointment and no continuing relationship shall hereby be created or implied.

The Adviser’s relation to the Company is that of a self-employed person. The Adviser shall be responsible for all taxes and contributions (including, but not limited to, income tax and national insurance, where applicable) in respect of all amounts paid or payable to the Adviser under or in relation to this Agreement.

The Adviser hereby agrees to indemnify the Company in respect of any claims that may be made by the relevant authorities against the Company in respect of any such taxes and/or contributions, including interest and penalties, relating to the Adviser’s Services provided to the Company under this Agreement.
- The Adviser shall be responsible for all of his/her expenses and, where applicable, VAT.
- The Adviser may not assign, charge or sub-licence or otherwise delegate any of its contact of services with the Company hereunder, or sub-contract or otherwise delegate any of its obligations relating to the Company, without the written consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
- Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to constitute or give rise to a partnership, joint venture, agency or any employment relationships between the Parties, or any employment relationship between any Adviser, and the Company, or any other fiduciary relationship, other than the contractual relationship expressly provided for in this Contract of Services Agreement.
Remuneration

The Adviser will represent the Company initially as a non-CAS Adviser and will receive 60% of commissions paid to the Company by the Provider for self-generated leads.

Once the Adviser has received full CAS (Competent Adviser Status), they will receive 70% of commissions paid to the Company on all self-generated leads.

For leads generated by the company or an introducer, 50% will be paid to the Adviser from commissions received by the Company for the successful completion of ‘the work’ with the client.

Once the Adviser has banked £100,000 from the beginning of the year (January), and if they are CAS Status, they will receive 75% of commissions paid to the Company by the Provider for self-generated leads from that point on until the end of that year (December). After which time, the commission amount for self-generated leads will revert back to 70%. If the Adviser receives future clawbacks that lowers their banked business to less than £100,000 for the year in question, the amount paid based on the additional 5% higher commission rate will be paid back to the Company from the Adviser. This will be paid back via future commissions or directly by the Adviser to the Company at the sole discretion of the Company.

Indemnity payments for insurance policies are made in four installments, over a four year period. This reduces risk to Straker Financial Services and the Adviser alike from cancelled insurance policies (clawbacks).

If the Adviser chooses a provider on our internal “Staggered List” (displayed on our CRM), each yearly commission payout will also be staggered over a set amount of months determined by the Company. The providers on the staggered list may change throughout the year, at which point the Adviser will be notified via the CRM.

Depending on the insurance company, commission paid will have a 2 or 4 year clawback period, unless taken on a non-indemnified basis. If taken on an indemnified basis, an additional 20% will be retained from the first year commission payment by the Company for clawback purposes and will be paid to the Adviser after the 2 or 4 year clawback period has passed.

The Adviser will be liable to pay for any clawbacks on commissions they have been paid, with the first 20% being taken from their pot and the outstanding amount from the Adviser's future commissions. If the Adviser does not have enough funds in their pot to cover the 20%, the clawback amount, including the 20%, will be taken entirely from the Adviser's commissions. If the Adviser does not have sufficient commissions available, the Adviser agrees to pay the outstanding clawback amount into the company account via bank transfer. This money must be paid within a timescale set by the company.

Separate policies for the same client will be paid to the Adviser as individual policies and therefore each individual policy will adhere to the aforementioned four year commission structure.

Providers may charge the company interest on outstanding clawbacks - this interest charge will be passed on to the Adviser if they cannot pay within the timescale set by the company. If the Adviser has any doubt as to whether they will be in a financial position to pay back a policy clawback, they must request the commissions for that policy as non-indemnified.

Any additional fees accrued, such as solicitor, debt collection and court fees, due to failure to pay back money owed for cancelled insurance policies, will be added to the initial debt and paid back by the Adviser.

The Adviser will receive a 5% override on any additional Advisers brought to the Company by them, the initial Adviser. This 5% override will be for the first three submitted deals only. The initial Adviser will be required to pay back the 5% override, if any of the first three policies are insurance policies and lapse.

The option for Advisers to build and manage their own teams is at the full discretion of the Company.

The Adviser acknowledges that he/she has no right to make any claim against the Company should the client fail to make payments for any reason.

The Adviser is responsible for all charges, disbursements, and expenses he/she incurs in performing his/her duties under this Agreement.

The Adviser may be charged a £50 admin fee, which will be taken off of their commissions, for additional administration work carried out by Straker Financial Services if they (the Adviser) do not adequately update and maintain policy information on the CRM. This will be on a policy by policy basis.
