Summary of Conflicts of Interest Policy
Effective: 1st November 2007
General
This policy covers conflicts that may arise between the company or an employee of the company and its clients, as well as between clients. The firm’s senior management is responsible for ensuring that the systems, controls and procedures in place are robust and adequate to identify and manage a conflict as and when it arises. These procedures are regularly reviewed by the Compliance Department in order to ensure that they are up to date, reflect best practice and that all the necessary activities and regulations are covered.
Guarding Against Conflicts of Interest
Different systems and procedures have been put in place to minimise any potential for conflicts of interest. This list, although not exhaustive, includes:
- Personal account dealing requirements within the firm
- Chinese walls preventing the flow of information between individual departments where a conflict may exist
- A gifts and inducements policy
- Segregation of duties where a potential conflict of interest may arise if duties are carried out by the same individual
- A public disclosure policy (“whistleblowing”) for the firm
Where we are aware of a conflict, we will disclose it to our clients prior to undertaking investment business for the clients or, if we do not disclose it, we will manage the conflict in line with our policy and procedures. In some cases, we may decide not to proceed with a transaction which has given rise to a conflict of interest.
Any further questions on this matter should be addressed to our Compliance Department.

Requirements of FCA regulated brokers
City Credit Capital (UK) Ltd (CCC) is authorised by the FCA to hold client money and client assets. Our company registration number is 232015 and you can learn more about our regulatory status by clicking on the link below and then entering the number in the search field.
The Financial Services Register
Financial Conduct Authority
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulates most financial services markets, exchanges, and firms in the UK. It sets the standards that must be met and can take action against firms if they fail to meet the required standards.
Requirements of FCA regulated brokers:
As an FCA regulated firm, City Credit Capital is obligated to meet the stringent standards set by the FCA, submit financials reports on a regular basis and undertake detailed annual audits. This includes ensuring that client funds are held in quality Tier 1 banks approved by the FCA. All money received from our clients is treated as “Client Money” under FCA client money rules. Under these rules all client money must be kept separate from company funds, in a segregated account and at no point can client money be treated as company assets. City Credit Capital cannot use client money to cover their own needs, expenses and risks or utilise those funds in case of insolvency. This means higher protection of investments for all our clients. Client money rules form one of the most important parts of the UK financial regulatory system related to consumers and City Credit Capital is committed to upholding them.
If a FCA regulated company fails to meet its financial obligations, a liquidator would not be able to use client money to meet claims of general creditors of the failed company. Clients’ funds can only be used to pay out compensation to clients who held deposits with the company. This is in contrast to US NFA regulated firms, where client funds are not kept in segregated accounts, in the case of a company failure in the US clients are treated as general creditors.
If you prefer to speak to the FCA directly, you can telephone the FCA Consumer Help Line on 0845 606 1234 (8am-6pm Monday to Friday). Alternatively, write to them at;

Treating Customers Fairly Charter
City Credit Capital (UK) Limited is committed to ensuring that the FCA principle of Treating Customers Fairly (TCF) is applied to all areas of the firm’s business and it believes that by adopting TCF it will add value to the service provided to our customers.
CCC aims to:
meet the needs of each customer by offering a transparent, efficient and professional service which it will constantly review to identify areas for improvement,
ensure we treat customers fairly and deal with any complaints that arise, promptly and fairly, and in line with FCA deadlines and rules,
ensure that TCF values adopted by the directors of the firm are communicated to, and supported by, all staff members, and
ensure that the standard of service provided to all our customers either meets or exceeds the standards required by the Financial Conduct Authority.
Safety of your funds
All client money received by City Credit Capital will be held in segregated accounts, and are therefore entirely separate from our own. In the unlikely event of a default, rest assured client funds will be returned directly to them rather than being treated as a recoverable asset by general creditors. All money held on behalf of clients is held in accounts with top-tier rated banks.
As an FCA regulated and authorised firm, clients of CCC are automatically protected by The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). Customers of City Credit Capital would be eligible to make a claim to the FSCS for compensation up to a maximum of £50,000 if the company ceases trading or becomes insolvent.
