Complaints procedure

1. Overview

On 27th July 2022 the FCA published final rules on Consumer Duty, referencing the need for firms to act to deliver good outcomes for retail customers. These rules include requirements for both product manufacturers and distributors. 

There are three central rules: 
(1) Act in good faith, 
(2) Avoid causing foreseeable harm, and 
(3) Enable and support customers to pursue their financial objectives. 

These three rules are supported by the four Consumer Duty outcomes: 
(1) Products and Services, 
(2) Price and Value, 
(3) Consumer Understanding, and 
(4) Consumer Support.

In addition, as a fundamental statement of the industry-wide required approach to Consumer Duty, the FCA introduced a new Principle 12 with effect from 31 July 2023:

“A firm must act to deliver good outcomes for retail customers”.

Note: This new Principle 12, when applicable, supersedes the requirements of Principle 6: “A firm must pay due regard to the interests of its customers and treat them fairly” and Principle 7: “A firm must pay due regard to the information needs of its clients, and communicate information to them in a way which is clear, fair and not misleading.”

The FCA also introduced a new Conduct Rule 6 for individuals who are in scope of Consumer Duty:

“You must act to deliver good outcomes for retail customers.” 

Note: When COCON Rule 6 applies, it supersedes COCON Rule 4: “You must pay due regard to the interests of customers and treat them fairly”.

2. Our Approach 

Our FCA authorised Principal Sturgeon Ventures LLP’s (SV) approach to Consumer Duty has been to review all the requirements and guidance, in considering what “good” outcome means, taking fully into account the examples of “good” outcomes provided by the FCA. From this, SV developed a detailed project plan, with areas where they felt their existing activities were fit for purpose, areas where improvement was required and areas which required building new processes, MI and frameworks.

The key areas of work undertaking in relation to Consumer Duty included (amongst many other things):

- Developing a new client feedback programme with Consumer Duty related questions to obtain continuous feedback from SV’s direct clients on their experiences and the clients of SV’s Appointed Representative firms.

- Assessing key client communications and high-risk communications. 

- Developing a new MI framework mapped against Consumer Duty outcomes, so that trends in complaints, reviews of outcomes, service and support provided to clients and other metrics can all be clearly monitored through the Consumer Duty lens.

- Developing a fair value framework that defines how SV assesses fair value for applicable products, taking into account comparable competitor pricing, including comparable pricing service and value add, and cost to serve amongst other things.

- Updating SV’s governance framework to include a Consumer Duty champion, SMCR compulsory training, board reporting and attestation requirements, to ensure the governance supporting Consumer Duty is sufficiently robust and updating its governance in relation to fair value and products and services.

- Developing a product governance framework which requires each product and service, where Consumer Duty is to be achieved, to be assessed against all Consumer Duty requirements and is built upon the FCA’s PROD requirements, with additional detail being included for Consumer Duty purposes. This product governance framework requires a detailed assessment of the product or service against various metrics including: the intended target market; the intended distribution strategy; understanding where foreseeable harm could occur and how that is prevented; understanding how the product or service adequately deals with any potential client vulnerabilities, amongst other things. 

- SV also reviews all financial promotions prepared by its Appointed Representatives. Where a financial promotion is produced by a manufacturer of any product for which either SV or any of its Appointed Representatives are providing distribution services in scope of Consumer Duty, SV requires the manufacturer to have approved such promotion’s content in line with Consumer Duty requirements.

- Producing a new Information template for all distributors of products and services (either SV or its Appointed Representatives), which will set out information included within the European MiFID Template (EMT) as well as additional fields, designed to support the product’s distributors in understanding what target market the product or service is designed for, how SV envisages sharing information if there are indicators of concern or complaints from consumers in relation to the product or service, and confirmation that the product and service has gone through the fair value and product governance assessment process. ​

- In undertaking the fair value assessment for its products and services (including those of its Appointed Representatives), SV has determined that in relation to pricing for its products where financial advisers are acting on either an agent as client basis or reliance on others, that there is a lower cost to serve as a result of additional work the financial adviser undertakes and we are confident that this is reflected in SV’s and its Appointed Representatives’ pricing, but will continue to monitor and assess this. 

- Ongoing training and review: Throughout the process of working to implement Consumer Duty into products, services, governance and culture, the SV team have attended industry forums and events and collaborated with manufacturers, distributors and service providers with whom they work, to ensure the approach is consistent and fit for purpose, with our direct involvement wherever relevant. The SV team have also ensured that training is taken by staff of any of its Appointed Representative which fall within scope of the Consumer Duty rules.

Please read this statement carefully to ensure you understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/769) (GDPR), the data controller is Norcliffe Capital Limited of 7 Bell Yard, London, WC2A 2JR. We can be contacted at enquiries@norcliffe.capital or on 0203 745 0653.

1. What information we process

Personal information (or ‘personal data’) means any information that can identify a living person, whether directly or indirectly. We collect and process a variety of personal information about individuals, as detailed below.

1.1 We process the personal information of our clients and the individuals who work for our clients. As such, if we act for you (or the entity you work for) we will process your:

- personal demographics such as your title name, date of birth, residential and employment details;
- financial information, such as income and expenditure and your financial history;
- other customer due diligence information, which may include criminal convictions data; and
- contact details and records of all correspondence with you.

1.2 This information will primarily be collected from you directly, but may also be collected from third parties whom we contact to obtain information about you, such as the entity you work for, previous employers if references are being sought, corporate search engines such as LinkedIn.

1.3 We may also obtain personal data belonging to members of your family. Where we do that, you must notify them that you are providing their information to us and draw their attention to this statement.

1.4 We will process this information when considering the application to become our client and retain it (in accordance with our retention procedures) whether the application is successful or not. Note that we require personal information in order to consider an application and if it is not provided, we will not therefore be able to consider the application.

1.5 If you are a client or contact, we will process the customer due diligence information that was collected. This may include:

- personal demographics such as your title name, date of birth, residential and employment details, as well as relationships with PEPs or family members where relevant to assessment process;
- financial information, such as income and assets;
- your current and previous employment and educational experience/background;
- your relevant financial services related experience, resources and sources of wealth; and
criminal convictions data (if applicable).

1.6 We will process personal information about you that we have collected from our website https://www.norcliffe.capital/ (our Website). We collect information when you submit information to us directly using the contact form on our Website. We also collect information automatically when you use the Website. This includes technical information including the internet protocol (IP) address used to connect to the internet, information about your visit including the full uniform resource locators (URL) clickstream and your search history on our Website.

2. How do we use your personal data?

2.1 When you provide us with your information in making an enquiry, we will use it for the purpose of administering your query and responding to you. We have legitimate interests in processing your personal data in this way, since if we do not process your data, we will be unable to do this.

2.2 When we collect information from you (or the entity you work for) in the provision of our services, we use it in order to consider your application (which will include verifying your identity) and to provide services if we are engaged to do so. We have legitimate interests in processing your personal data in this way, namely in order to assure ourselves that we are able to conduct business with you (or the entity you work for) and tailor our services as may be necessary. If we contract with you directly, the processing may be necessary for the performance of the contract that we have in place with you, or to take steps at your request before entering into the contract. Where we process criminal convictions data in the application process, this processing is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest, namely in order to comply with our regulatory requirements relating to unlawful acts and dishonesty (Data Protection Act 2018, Part 2, Paragraph 12).

2.3 If you are a client we will process the customer due diligence information. This processing is necessary to ensure compliance with our legal obligations and for the purposes of our legitimate interests in ensuring that our clients have acted diligently, and clients are treated appropriately. If criminal convictions data was collected about you in the customer due diligence process, this information will be held by us on the basis that the processing is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest, namely in order to comply with our regulatory requirements relating to unlawful acts and dishonesty.

2.4 Unless you provide your consent by ticking the opt-in box provided on the contact form, we will not send you marketing information that you have not requested. Any consent that you provide can be withdraw at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” on any marketing email we send to you, or by emailing us at enquiries@norcliffe.capital. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing which occurred prior to the withdrawal of consent.

2.5 We may also process your personal information collected on our Website on the basis of our legitimate interests in providing you with the best possible service:

- to ensure that the content from our Website is presented in the most effective manner for you and your computer;
- as part of our efforts to keep our Website safe and secure; and
- for internal analytical and statistical purposes.

Such data processing will normally be conducted on an anonymous basis.

3. Disclosure of Information

3.1.1 Where we need to verify your identity before we provide services to you (or the entity you work for) in which case we will share your information with CRAs and the DBS.
