What is an Experienced or Sophisticated Investor?
Like many Crowdstacker investors, you qualify as a Self-Certified Sophisticated Investor if you have made more than one investment in an P2P agreements or P2P portfolio in the last two years, including investments made via the Crowdstacker Platform. You also qualify if you are, or have been, a member of a network or syndicate of business angels in the last six months.
Experienced or Sophisticated Investor statement
I declare that I am a self-certified sophisticated investor for the purposes of the restriction on promotion of P2P agreements. I understand that this means:
- I can receive promotional communications made by a person who is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority which relate to investment activity in P2P agreements;
- The investments to which the promotions will relate may expose me to a significant risk of losing all of the property invested.
I am a self-certified sophisticated investor because at least one of the following applies:
- I am a member of a network or syndicate of business angels and have been so for at least the last six months prior to the application date;
- I have made more than one investment in an P2P agreements or P2P portfolio in the two years prior to the application date;
- I am working, or have worked in the two years prior to the application date, in a professional capacity in the provision of finance, resulting in an understanding of the P2P agreements to which the promotions will relate;
- I am currently, or have been in the two years prior to the application date, a director of a company with an annual turnover of at least £1 million.
I accept that the investments to which the promotions will relate may expose me to a significant risk of losing all of the money or other property invested. I am aware that it is open to me to seek advice from an authorised person who specialises in advising on P2P agreements.
