Terms of Business Letter for OHFS Ltd

OHFS Ltd is an independent adviser and will act on your behalf in advising you on products from the whole market.

INVESTMENT SERVICES
OHFS Ltd is permitted to arrange (bring about) deals in investments and advise on investments. The particular investment types relate to life assurance, pensions, investments in authorised collective investment schemes, Unit Trust PEPs and ISAs.

With regard to investments which we have arranged for you, these will not be kept under review but we will advise you upon your request. However, we may contact you in the future by means of an unsolicited promotion should we wish to contact you to discuss the relative merits of an investment or service which we feel may be of interest to you.

OHFS Ltd does not handle clients money. We never accept a cheque made out to us (unless it is a cheque in settlement of charges or disbursements for which we have sent you an invoice) or handle cash.

MATERIAL INTERESTS
OHFS Ltd offers independent advice, but occasions can arise where we or one of our other clients will have some form of interest in business being transacted for you. If this happens or we become aware that our interests or those of one of our other clients conflict with your interests, we will write to you and obtain your consent before we carry out your instructions, and detail the steps we will take to ensure fair treatment.

TERMINATION OF AUTHORITY
You or we, may terminate our authority to act on your behalf at any time, without penalty. Notice of this termination must be given in writing and will take effect from the date of receipt. Termination is without prejudice to any transactions already initiated which will be completed according to these terms of business unless otherwise agreed in writing. You will be liable to pay for any transactions made prior to termination and any fees which may be outstanding.

RIGHT TO WITHDRAW
In the case of a non packaged product ISA or Pep recommended we will inform you in writing of any right to withdraw or cancel you may have or, if it is the case, we will inform you in writing that no such rights will apply.

CLIENTS RISK
You are advised that because investments can fall as well as rise, you may not get back the full amount invested. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance.
