IF YOU ARE AN INVESTOR THEN PLEASE READ TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.

 

The UK Investment Agency

 

If you have assets of £250,000 or an annual income of £100,000 then you are recognised officially by the government as a High Net Worth Individual (HNWI). This means that you qualify for our services and we invite you to engage with us. We believe we offer a service to rival the best in the market in our niche area.

 

Register with us and certify yourself as a HNWI by clicking the link below and completing the simple online form. This has been worded and created by the government especially for our market.

​

You will be contacted by a broker and sent some information that the broker will discuss.

​

​

The UK Investment Agency and YOU

​

The UK Investment Agency represents a small,specialist team. Each member has decades of market experience, either in trading City investments to High Net Worth Individuals or in brokering the deals in the first place, or both. 

 

We believe we offer an important and necessary option for High Net Worth Individuals’ investment strategies and we are aware that many eligible investors don’t realise why.

​

Our aim is to utilise our market-leading expertise to expand a valuable brand that represents a “Best Practice” approach to all areas of its business model.

​​

We are looking to promote our offers and services to a larger percentage of the UK’s High Net Worth Individuals and we aim to become well known among UK HNWIs.

 

The government has only been supporting private equity investments for HNWIs for thirty years so we are among the most experienced operators in the market, having specialised for decades.

 

We expect to breathe life into a section of the UK’s investors who are eligible for proper City investments but just don’t know it.

 

The government hides these vehicles from the average citizen but has spent much time and attention legally structuring and protecting them exclusively for HNWIs who the government then often strongly incentivises to invest in them. They are therefore definitely not “bad”. But they are “high-risk” and restricted to HNWIs.

 

We have found that most HNWIs don’t even know that they are High Net Worth Individuals officially in the government’s eyes, or what it means or what it unlocks for them.

​

We have also found over the years that most HNWIs expect the qualifying threshold for wealth to be far higher than it actually is when they first hear the term. Most are genuinely surprised that it applies to them. There is a large number.of unsuspecting HNWIs that have access to the City by law.

​

We believe it is unfortunate that so many eligible investors aren’t given the opportunity to even know about something that appeals to such a large proportion of them. We know this to be true from extensive experience.

 

The City is full of serious investment activity. Those vehicles which are packaged to target High Net Worth Individuals have taken the considerable time and expense to have a product and all promotional material prepared by legal firms which adhere to strict laws.

​

Investment vehicles which are prepared for HNWIs are always illiquid, meaning they are not listed on the market and therefore not regulated. Therefore we cannot be regulated for our activities.

​

Our activities however are covered in detail in law in the Financial Services and Markets Act (FSMA), as are the rules for companies and for their financial promotions if they’re not regulated.

​

Our products, market and marketing are covered so thoroughly in FSMA because although they are not regulated, the products themselves ARE recognised investment vehicles and have been given thorough legal attention.

​

This legal structure doesn’t exist for most other types of unregulated investment vehicles as they are often not even recognised as legitimate investment vehicles at all and therefore have no governance.

​

Our investment vehicles are recognised as such and therefore have legal structure.

 

There is no regulator but there are compliance specialists because instead of a regulator there are detailed laws and specialist lawyers to navigate them. It’s not an area left open to interpretation. If you aren’t an expert then you will most likely break the law if structuring or promoting a product and it can’t be hidden if you are actively raising capital.

​

We’ve found that many investors are concerned about a product being “real” if it is not regulated, but for private equity professionals it’s a very different reality. Mistakes are serious crimes. There is control. This is why government schemes actually pay HNWIs to invest in these products. They are genuine and fair.

 

The risk is very real, but so is the potential. That’s where your judgement comes into play.

​

Every High Net Worth Individual should review our offers and take them seriously. Many have been doing so for years.

​

We process a never-ending list of HNWIs who simply aren’t aware what they qualify for and we find that many have a healthy appetite for risk and growth investing and are interested in knowing what we’re working on.

​

Would you like to know?

​

Is it reasonable to investigate?

​

Our marketing campaign is part of our current expansion to connect with these HNWIs, possibly like yourself if you’re an investor who is visiting our website for the first time.​

​

New business campaigns are costly, take specialist resources and are easy to mismanage.

 

We are experts at these market activities and have built a bespoke process to handle marketing responses.

​

This involves a combination of reading material which we provide and accompanying presentations from a broker. We aim for our investors to be fully informed.

 

We qualify, educate and look to trade with new investors in a week. We work hard doing this.

​

There is no commitment made by any investor until or unless they decide to transfer funds to settle a trade.

​

You can take a serious look without being committed. If you trade it will be because you are happy to. You are free to choose not to, so we hope interested HNWIs will go through our introductory process with an open mind and under no unnecessary pressure.

 

Decisions are sometimes time-sensitive in our market, so we are attracting efficient investors by simply replicating market conditions and setting a decision deadline at the end of each week in our introductory process for all our new leads.

 

This is necessary in order to process all this new investor data diligently, professionally, thoroughly and profitably.

​

We most certainly do not “pressure-sell” and most investment decisions with us aren’t rushed. Therefore if we were simply too quick for you but you are interested then send an email to us and you will be processed by management instead of the new business team who are busy with back-to-back appointments all week handling the responses to our campaign.

​

ONLY TRADE IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE.

​

These products offer the potential for the highest returns in the market but are classified high-risk. There is no cover from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).

​

No-one is allowed to advise you to invest in these products. The law clearly ensures that investors participate of their own accord and are therefore fully responsible for that decision if they invest.

​

This is why we must do a thorough job of presenting the whole scenario fairly to each new investor, so that they can make a fully-informed AND FULLY INDEPENDENT decision.

​

If you are one of our new, interested HNWIs being processed now then we hope to welcome you to our community of investors once your broker has made their presentations to you.

​

We hope you enjoy trading with us.

​

Welcome to the UK Investment Agency.
