Personal information includes your name, address, phone number and other information that is not otherwise publicly available. We collect personal information about you when you contact us about products and services, visit a financial adviser, visit a one of our websites, or register to receive one of our newsletters (if applicable).
The type of personal information we collect will depend on the purpose for which it is collected and includes:
We collect personal information directly from you. For example, we ask for personal information at the start of our relationship and in subsequent communications in order to check your identity, and protect you from fraud. This is a legal requirement and is important to help safeguard you against potential crime.
When providing advice, it is necessary to understand a client’s state of health. This is essential for underwriting purposes when considering any type of life cover. However, it is also necessary to understand any concerns a client may have about their own health when considering investment time frames, appropriate retirement dates, and what a client would like to happen in the event of their incapacity or death.
This more sensitive type of information is called Special Category Data, and this can include other sensitive lifestyle related information.
It is very important that we collect this type of data, to ensure that our advice is properly tailored to each customer, taking into account their thoughts, preferences and personal circumstances.
We will need to obtain your consent during the advice process to gather this data and explain what information we require and why it is needed. Sensitive personal information will always be processed and stored securely. You can withdraw your consent at any time to us processing this data, however, this may mean that you can no longer advise from quite such an informed position.
We keep your personal information only as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet regulatory or legislative requirements. Personal information will be securely disposed of when it is no longer required, in accordance with our Data Retention and Disposal Schedule. A copy of this is available from the How to Contact Us address, below.

Any relevant marketing activity we undertake is done because as a firm we have a legitimate interest to do so.

We are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Our registration number is 835127. The permitted business of City Mortgages Club ltd is advising on and arranging mortgages, life assurance and general insurance.

The FCA has rules which affect the rights you have as a customer. In our dealings with you we will be representing you as the customer, rather than acting on behalf of an insurer.
We classify all our individual customers as ‘retail’ customers. The range of financial products and investments we recommend are tailored to meet the needs of retail customers. You will have rights under the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). These rights will apply to the provision of the advice we provide.
In most cases these rights will also apply to the products we recommend. However, there are some exemptions for specialist products such as Enterprise Investment Schemes and Venture Capital Trusts. Your adviser will let you know if the product recommended will not have rights under the FOS or FSCS.
There are other classifications of customer that don’t have these rights. These are “professional” customers and “eligible counterparties”. You have the right to be classified as a professional client. Should you feel you have the skills knowledge and experience to be a Professional client and don’t wish to have the same protection afforded to retail clients, please let me know and we will complete the forms necessary to reclassify you.
If you have any questions regarding your classification (e.g. if you are acting on behalf of a large company), please write to Compliance Department, Rosemount Financial Solutions IFA Ltd, 2-4 Chequers Road, Basingstoke, RG21 7PU. Alternatively you can contact the Financial Ombudsman Service or the FSCS.
We do not handle Client Money. We never handle cash and will only accept a cheque made out to us in settlement of our own Advice and Service fees. Our preferred method of payment is via bank transfer.
Any financial advice we provide will be based on your personal financial circumstances and objectives. It is important that the information you give us is both accurate and a true reflection of your current circumstances.
It is your responsibility to provide complete and accurate information to a provider (a provider being for example, an organisation that provides insurance, or investment related plans).
It is important that all statements made on any proposal form, or on any additional documentation are full and accurate. Please be aware that if you fail to disclose any relevant information, or any change of circumstances to a provider, then the terms of your desired plan may be invalidated (e.g. an insurance claim may not be paid). We strongly recommend that the information you provide is checked thoroughly prior to submission.
Unless agreed by us at outset all communication will be completed in English. We will communicate in a manner that is convenient to you, this could include Face-to-Face meetings, Post, E-mail and by telephone.
All advice will be conducted in the EEA. This means that both you and I could be in any EEA country including the UK at the time advice is given.
Mortgages : I will send you a Suitability Report setting out the reasons for my recommendation. This will be provided before implementing any advice that I have recommended. This will ensure that you will have sufficient time to read the report fully, and to discuss any points before proceeding.
Protection Advice: I will send you a Demands and Needs statement setting out the reasons for my recommendation, before the policy starts. If I am advising you by telephone, and you need the policy to start on the same day, the Demands and Needs statement will be sent to you by the end of the next working day.
Rosemount IFA has a number of arrangements with various product providers to facilitate adviser learning and enhance the outcomes for our customers. Further details are available on request.
To ensure that customer interests are always put first, we operate a robust Conflict of Interest and Inducements Policy. If a potential conflict of interest does arise it will be actively managed, and we have arrangements in place to ensure that all our clients are treated fairly. If we feel that our interests’ conflict with yours, you will be contacted and we will obtain your consent to proceed. Our conflict of interest policy is available on request.
All transactions relating to the services provided by us are covered by The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds Regulations 2017. The FCA also requires that we have appropriate measures in place to prevent the furtherance of financial crime.
Our responsibilities include, but are not limited to, verifying the identity and address of our clients and any third-party making payments on their behalf. If required, you must supply proof of your identity in accordance of the above Regulations. Identity verification checks may include electronic searches of the electoral roll and the use of credit reference agencies, which will result in a soft ‘foot-print’ on your credit records. This foot-print is not visible to other financial service providers and does not affect your credit rating in anyway. In accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 acceptance of these terms and conditions represents your permission for us to access this information.
We are covered by the FSCS. You may be entitled to compensation from the scheme if we cannot meet our obligations. This depends on the type of business and the circumstances of the claim. i.e. it differs for investments, insurance and bank accounts.
Further information about compensation scheme arrangements is available from the FSCS.
All of our agreements provided are governed and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. In relation to any dispute, for your protection you agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
The personal information you provide will assist your financial adviser in offering you the best advice as required by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. The personal data you provide will be used and stored in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 which incorporates the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) into UK legislation.
