Initial Notice to UK Prospect

E1 Asset Management (‘E1’) has previously contacted you in your capacity as a director, officer or employee of an entity of a type we are permitted by UK law to approach and whose responsibilities in that role in that entity permit us to approach you individually.

Upon our making this contact, you expressed a personal interest in our services and requested more information about them. Accordingly, we are sending with this notice a brief description of the services that E1 offers, which we hope will be informative.

 

However, before we can take matters any further, UK law requires us to inform you that in becoming a customer of E1, and in your dealings with us:

(a) the protections conferred by or under the UK Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the ‘Act’) will not apply as a result of our unsolicited communication to you;

(b) the protections conferred by or under the Act may not apply to any investment activity you conduct through us as a result of that communication; and

(c) transactions between us resulting from that communication would not fall within the jurisdiction of any UK dispute resolution or compensation scheme, including the Financial Ombudsman Service, nor of any other compensation scheme, although the National Association of Securities Dealers Code of Arbitration Procedure for Customer Disputes will apply.

In addition, you will need to clearly signify, after a proper opportunity to consider the above information, that you understand the warnings referred to in (a) and (b) above, and accept that you will not benefit from the protections referred to.

We therefore propose to contact you again no earlier than two working days from the date that this notice is issued to ascertain whether you are interested in progressing matters and becoming a customer of E1. However, if you decide beforehand that you are not interested in our services, please e-mail the E1 representative who contacted you and let us know of your decision. We shall ensure that your decision is noted and that you will not be contacted by us again.

Finally, in the event that this notice has been sent to you in error, we apologise both for the mistake and for troubling you. If you would let us know of our mistake by contacting us on by return email or fax, we shall ensure that you are not troubled again.

Information We Are Requesting From You:

Something we take very seriously, which can only be described as the cornerstone of success in this business—is that it remains mandatory for your broker to only provide advice and recommendations which are suitable. As a result, the forms help us to paint a more accurate picture of your financial standing and goals, to better aid our firm and its liaisons to attempt to make informed recommendations that are consistent with your desired risk level and investment objectives. The more detailed your response, the better we are able to serve you in pursuit of your objectives.

 

 

   
Your Broker’s Recommendations:

Investing involves vary degrees of risk: securities are influenced by numerous and unpredictable events. Recommendations from your broker are in no way assurances or guarantees for the future performance of any investment. Some clients make investments outside the purveyance of their advisor: these transactions will be marked as “unsolicited,” and you may be asked to sign an acknowledgement to this fact.

 

Receipt of Payments:

Upon executing a transaction, you will be advised of the amount due and the due date. Typically, funds are due 5 business days (T+2 days as set by the Federal Reserve) for share purchase and the following business day for Options trades, following the execution of a transaction.  Please remit payment promptly and allow sufficient time for your payment to reach us. To prevent delays, please be sure to include all necessary credit details.
Payment for shares internationally are typically made via Bank Wire (Chaps transfer), a U.S. Dollar (USD $) Swift Transfer, or can be made via check from a U.S. based bank account.  Our domestic clients have several other options in addition to the above; please ask your representative for alternative means if you are a U.S. citizen with a Tax Identification (Social Security) number.
In addition, we do not allow the receipt or payment for said transactions via a third party.  Please contact us with any additional questions you may have.

Delivery of funds or securities:

Should you need funds wired back to you, please advise your broker and they will proceed accordingly. This process can take up to 5 business days, depending on the current status of your account and/or account holdings in addition to time for settlement and/or conversion.
It is strongly recommended you hold securities in your account, rather then taking delivery of the certificates. Holding the securities in your account allows you to sell your certificates promptly, compared to the several day layoff involved in standard certificate redemptions.
Should you have restricted certificates for U.S. denominated securities that you would like to deposit into your account, please see our Rule 144 form:
