Why Guernsey?
Guernsey has for many years enjoyed a reputation as a leading international
offshore financial centre of the highest calibre providing an extremely
professional and prudently regulated financial services infrastructure.
A recent review conducted on behalf of the United Kingdom Government described
Guernsey as being in the top division of offshore financial centres and
possessing financial services legislation better than that of most EU
countries.
The Guernsey based funds pay no tax and the proceeds are paid gross without
the deduction of tax. Tax concessions are subject to change at any time
and therefore are not guaranteed; their value will depend on an investor's
circumstances. Depending on the status of the investor, the returns may
be liable to taxation within their country of residence or domicile.
The Independent parties involved in Manor Park's Funds:
The Independent Guarantor
The Independent Guarantors guarantee the future value of the Fund’s assets.
This means that your exposure is not to Manor Park but, via the Fund,
to the Guarantors being major financial institutions with independent
credit ratings of AA or higher.
The Independent Auditor
The Independent Auditor audits the Fund’s accounts and provides you,
via the Annual Report and Accounts, with an opinion as to whether the
Fund’s accounts show a true and fair view of the state of the Fund’s affairs.
The Fund’s accounts are audited in accordance with Auditing Standards
issued by the Auditing Practices Board of the United Kingdom and prepared
in accordance with the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 1994.
Your Independent Financial Adviser
Your Independent Financial Adviser provides you with advice and professional
guidance taking into account, amongst other things, your risk profile,
your investment objectives, the time period you have available for investment
and your expectation of investment growth over the period, your tax position
and whether you are looking to generate higher returns or reduce risk
on other investments you hold.
The Independent Custodian
The Independent Custodian keeps your money and the Fund’s guarantees
and assets safe. When you make an investment you make your payment to
the Custodian. At all times the Custodian holds on your behalf your money
and the assets of the Fund including the guarantees. All assets held by
the Custodian are separately designated from any other assets held by
the Custodian and also from the Custodian's own assets. The Custodian
only settles the investment transactions when the Guarantees are in place.
The Independent Guarantor then becomes responsible to the Custodian for
repayment at the end of the Investment Period. On maturity you will receive
your maturity amount by cheque issued by the Custodian. The Custodian
is BNP Paribas Trust Company (Guernsey) Limited, which is part of
BNP Paribas SA Group. BNP Paribas Trust Company (Guernsey) Limited is
a licensed custodian under The Protection of Investors (Bailiwick of Guernsey)
Law, 1987.
The Independent Fund Manager
The Independent Fund Manager designs, operates, structures and manages
the Funds and defines the Return Formula for each Fund. The Fund Manager
also establishes the legal fund framework, structures the investments
and assets of each Fund and arranges for the Guarantor to guarantee the
future value of the Fund’s assets. The Fund Manager is also responsible
for the administration of the Fund. The Fund Manager is Structured Products Management
Limited and holds a licence from the Guernsey Financial Services Commission
under the Protection of Investors (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 1987. The
Fund Manager is independent of the AA rated financial institutions that
provide the Guarantees and therefore has no conflicting interests in the
investment terms of any Fund.
