We do our best to provide a quality service, but if you do have cause for complaint, we will equally do our best to deal with it to your full satisfaction. As part of this we have established procedures to ensure that any complaints received from former, potential or existing customers are dealt with in a timely and satisfactory manner.
The Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) and the Financial Ombudsman Service (“FOS”)
We are regulated by the FCA (Registered Number 175451), a body which was established by Parliament to regulate the activities of, amongst others, banks and financial institutions. As part of its statutory obligation, the FCA has established the Financial Ombudsman Service which has the power to consider, arbitrate and settle complaints against authorised firms in the event that the parties concerned have been unable to resolve the matter between themselves. People who may complain to the FOS must be “eligible complainants” and who are either private individuals, “micro-enterprises” or Charities or Trusts whose annual turnover is less than £1 million.

The Epworth Investment Funds for Charities are designed for long term investors. The value of units in the funds can fall as well as rise, as the funds reflect the value of the investments held in them.
The level of income is also variable. The funds will therefore not be suitable for use if the possibility of capital losses or reduced income cannot be accepted.
Any estimates of future capital or income returns or details of past performance on this Site are for information purposes and are not to be relied on as a guide to future performance.
Units are only realisable on the dealing dates which occur every business day.
The Trustees and the Manager of the Epworth Cash Plus Fund for Charities will use due skill, care and diligence in carrying out their respective duties under the Scheme or as imposed by law. Whilst the Trustee and the Manager will comply with this undertaking in relation to the investment of the fund, they cannot give guarantees regarding repayment of deposits in the Fund.
The monthly interest distribution rate will fluctuate and past performance is no guarantee of future returns.
The Epworth Cash Plus Fund for Charities is exempt from the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and depositors are not eligible for the Statutory Investors Compensation Scheme or the services of Financial Services Ombudsman. The Manager is however duly authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.
