Bermuda: Complaints Handling Procedure

We have adopted the Complaints Handling Procedure in order to ensure effective, fair and transparent procedures for handling the complaints received from our clients.

A complaint is a statement of dissatisfaction addressed to the Company by a natural or legal person relating to an investment service provided by Advanced Markets (Bermuda) Limited (the “Company”). A complainant is any person, natural or legal person who is presumed to be eligible to have a complaint considered by the Company and who has already lodged a complaint.

The complaints must be directed by the complainant to the Company’s Compliance Department by filling out the relevant form listed in this procedure and submited to the Company via the following methods:

a. By email: compliancebm@advancedmarkets.com

b. By post at our address

In case we receive a notice through the line of communication established by us to receive complaints, but which does not fall within the definition of ‘complaint’ above and can be characterized as an enquiry; this shall be categorized as an enquiry rather than a complaint and will be forwarded to the relevant department to be handled accordingly. The complainant maintains the right to request for the re-classification of his enquiry as a complaint.

Procedure

1. Submission of Complaint
A Client can file a complaint by contacting us at compliancebm@advancedmarkets.com providing at a minimum the below listed information:

One of our officers may contact you directly (including communication by email or phone) in order to obtain further clarifications and information relating to your complaint.

3. Investigation of Complaint

We will require your full cooperation in order to expedite the investigation and possible resolution of your complaint. In the event that your complaint requires further investigation and we cannot resolve it within 2 months, we will issue a response indicating the causes of the delay and when the Company’s investigation is likely to be completed. In any event, we shall provide you with the outcome of our investigation no later than 3 months from the issuing of the response of delay, depending on the complexity of the case and your cooperation.

4. Resolution
When we reach our final decision we will inform you without delay and we will provide you with an explanation of our position and propose remedial measures (if applicable).
