Limits on the record
-
Restriction on Alternative Investment Fund Management Activities
1) The Firm must not, without prior written consent of the FCA: a ) where the Firm acts as AIFM for or on behalf of any Fund, accept any new investors or accept any additional investor capital from new or existing investors; b) establish, become the AIFM of, or take on the management of any Funds; and c) take, levy or otherwise impose any fees, charges, or expenses from or to assets under management of any of the AIFs the Firm acts as AIFM, irrespective of what form the taking, levying or imposition may take – for example, whether by disposing of scheme property, withdrawing funds from scheme accounts, or securing loans against scheme property. 2) The Firm may continue to act as AIFM for or on behalf of any AIF which is managed by the Firm on the Effective Date.
One supervisory condition set by the FCA
These are conditions the FCA places on the firm itself, covering things like capital it must hold and what it must report. They do not change what the firm may do for you.
- Small Authorised UK AIFM (Sub-Threshold)
The total value of assets under management by the firm must not exceed the relevant threshold as set out in Article 3(2) of AIFMD (as determined under Chapter II, section I of the AIFMD level 2 regulation). In the event that the relevant threshold is breached, the firm must submit an application for authorisation as a Full-scope UK AIFM to the FCA
FCA disciplinary action and complaints
No FCA disciplinary action.
The Financial Ombudsman Service only publishes complaint figures for firms with 30 or more new complaints in six months, so there are none here for this firm.

Assets and liabilities
In the full report: all 4 years of accounts
- Every year from 2019 to 2023
- The chart, over every year
- Every filed figure, year by year
About these figures
- Turnover
- Money taken from sales in the year, before any costs.
- Profit before tax
- What was left after the year’s costs, before corporation tax. A minus figure is a loss.
- Net assets, or total equity
- Everything the company owns minus everything it owes. A minus figure means it owes more than it owns.
- Total assets and total liabilities
- Everything the company owns, and everything it owes, on the last day of the year. The gap between them is its net assets.
- Cash at bank
- Money in the company’s accounts on the last day of the year.
- Owed within a year, owed after a year
- Debts and bills due in the next twelve months, and those due later.
There is no turnover or profit: small companies do not have to publish them.
Accounts filed at Companies House for company 06208954. Every figure is as filed, apart from total assets and total liabilities, which are added up from filed figures. Nothing is estimated.
