A.7

FUNDS UNDER MANAGEMENT (FuM)

The total value, in pounds sterling, of all assets (see note (a) below) in portfolios which the firm manages, on a discretionary basis (see note (b) below), in accordance with its terms of business, less:

a) funds covered by the exclusion contained in article 38 (Attorneys) of the Regulated Activities Order;

(b) funds covered by the exclusion contained in article 66(3) (Trustees, nominees and personal representatives) of the Regulated Activities Order;

(c) funds covered by the exclusion contained in article 68(6) (Sale of goods or supply of services) of the Regulated Activities Order;

(d) funds covered by the exclusion contained in article 69(5) (Groups and joint enterprises) of the Regulated Activities Order; and

(e) the value of those parts of the managed portfolios in respect of which the responsibility for the discretionary management has been formally delegated to another firm (and which firm will include the value of the assets in question in its own FuM total); any such deduction should identify the firm to which management responsibility has been delegated.

Notes on FuM

(a) For the purposes of calculating the value of funds under management, assets means all assets that consist of or include any investment which is a designated investment or those assets in respect of which the arrangements for their management are such that the assets may consist of or include such investments, and either the assets have at any time since 29 April 1988 done so or the arrangements have at any time (whether before or after that date) been held out as arrangements under which the assets would do so.

(b) Assets managed by the firm on a discretionary basis exclude the firm's own assets. Assets managed on a non-discretionary basis, being assets that the firm has a contractual duty to keep under continuous review but in respect of which prior specific consent of the client must be obtained for proposed transactions, are also excluded as this activity is covered in those charged to fees in activity groups A.12 andA.13.

(c) In respect of collective investment schemes, assets means the total value of the assets of the scheme.

(d) For an OPS firm, the FuM should also be reduced by the value of the assets held as a result of a decision taken in accordance with article 4(6) of The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Carrying on Regulated Activities by Way of Business) Order 2001 (investments in collective investment scheme or bodies corporate which have as their primary purpose the acquisition, directly, or indirectly, of relevant investments, as defined in that article).

(e) Only assets that are managed from an establishment maintained by the firm in the United Kingdom are relevant.

(f) If the firm is managing an overlay portfolio of derivative instruments and the underlying assets are managed by itself or a firm within the same group that has not reported them separately to the FCA, or by a firm outside its group, then it should calculate the value of the derivatives and other assets as prescribed in the guidance in FSA038 in SUP 16 Annex 25.

If the underlying assets are managed by another firm within the same group who has reported their value separately to the FCA, then to avoid double-counting within the group, the calculation must be restricted to the exposure of the overlay.

A.9

GROSS INCOMEFor operators (including ACDs and authorised fund managers3 of unit trusts or authorised contractual schemes3 but excluding operators of a personal pension scheme or a stakeholder pension scheme): gross income from the activity relating to fee-block A.9 is defined as:

the amount of the annual charge on funds invested in regulated or unregulated collective investment scheme received or receivable in the latest accounting period (this is calculated as a % of funds invested, typically 1% p.a.);

PLUS

any additional initial or management charges levied through a product wrapper such as an ISA;

as part of their duties in relation to those activities of the authorised person, commits the firm in market dealings or in transactions in securities or in other specified investments in the course of regulated activities.

But not any employees or agents who work solely in the firm'sMTF operation.

A firm may, as an option, report employees or agents as full-time equivalents (FTE), taking account of any part-time staff. In calculating the FTE, firms must take into account the total hours employees or agents have contracted to work for the firm and not the time employees or agents devote to the dealing in investments as principal and bidding in emissions auctions functions set out in fee-block A.10. Any figures using the FTE calculation to be recorded to one decimal place, rounded down to the nearest decimal place.

Annual income as defined in FEES 4 Annex 11A R.

A.18

ANNUAL INCOME

(a) the net amount retained by the firm of all brokerages, fees, commissions and other related income (e.g. administration charges, overriders, profit shares) due to the firm in respect of or in relation to home finance mediation activity (or activities which would have been mortgage mediation activity if they had been carried out after 30 October 2004 or home purchase mediation activity or home reversion mediation activity if they had been carried out on or after 6 April 2007 or regulated sale and rent back mediation activity if they had been carried out on or after 1 July 2009);

PLUS

(b) for any home finance mediation activity carried out by the firm for which it receives payment from the lender or provider on a basis other than that in (a), the value of all new mortgage advances and amounts provided under other home finance transactions resulting from that activity multiplied by 0.004;

PLUS

(c) if the firm is a home finance provider, the value of all new mortgage advances and amounts provided under other home finance transactions which are or would be regulated mortgage contracts if they had been made after 30 October 2004 or home purchase plans or home reversion plans if they had been made on or after 6 April 2007 or regulated sale and rent back mediation activity if they had been carried out on or after 1 July 2009 (other than those made as a result of home finance mediation activity by another firm), multiplied by 0.004.

For mortgage outsourcing firms or home finance outsourcing firms whose permission does not include advising on a home finance transaction the relevant amounts are multiplied by 0.15.

Notes on annual income:

(1) For the purposes of calculating annual income, "net amount retained" means all the commission, fees, etc. in respect of home finance mediation activity that the firm has not rebated to customers or passed on to other firms (for example, where there is a commission chain). Items such as general business expenses (e.g. employees' salaries, overheads) should not be deducted.

(2) The firm must include in its income calculation, on the same basis as above, earnings from those who will become its appointed representatives immediately after authorisation.

(3) Reference to a "firm" above also includes reference to any person who carried out activities which would be mortgage mediation activity if they had been carried out after 30 October 2004 or home purchase mediation activity or reversion mediation activity if they had been carried out on or after 6 April 2007 or regulated sale and rent back mediation activity if they had been carried out on or after 1 July 2009.

(4) Mortgage outsourcing firms are firms whose permission includes administering regulated mortgage contracts, but not entering into a regulated mortgage contract. Home finance outsourcing firms are firms whose permission includes administering a home finance transaction, but not entering into a home finance transaction.

(5) The same firm may receive income under paragraph (a) and (c).

(6) A firm must include in paragraph (a) any income it receives from home finance mediation activity carried on by another person with respect to any home finance transaction into which the firm has entered as lender, plan provider or home purchase provider.

(7) In calculating the net amount retained, a firm may not deduct amounts that it rebates to a person other than another firm, a person falling within the extended definition of firm in Note (4) or the firm's customer.

(8) A firm may only deduct amounts under paragraph (a) in calculating its net amount retained if the amount is to be deducted from income that the firm must include under paragraph (a). Therefore for example:

(a) if a mortgage lender (Firm A) pays a firm commission for arranging a regulated mortgage under which Firm A is a lender, Firm A may not take that expense into account in calculating its annual income if Firm A does not receive a fee from the borrower or another person in respect of that regulated mortgage; and

(b) if a mortgage lender (Firm A) pays a firm (Firm B) commission for arranging a regulated mortgage under which Firm A is a lender, Firm A receives a payment from the borrower under that transaction and the amount payable to Firm B exceeds the amount payable by the borrower, Firm A may not take that excess into account in calculating its annual income and must instead net the sum payable by the borrower to zero.

(9) A firm must include in paragraph (a) any survey and booking fees due to it in respect of or in relation to home finance mediation activity or which would been home finance mediation activity if they had been carried on or after the dates in paragraph (a).

A.19

ANNUAL INCOME (A) the net amount retained by the firm of all brokerages, fees, commissions and other related income (e.g. administration charges, overriders, profit shares) due to the firm in respect of or in relation to insurance mediation activity (or activities which would have been insurance mediation activity if they had been carried out after 13 January 2005 or, in relation to connected travel insurance contracts, from 1 January 2009) in relation to general insurance contracts or pure protection contracts;

Plus (B) in relation to the activities set out in (A), for any insurance mediation activity carried out by the firm for which it receives payment from the insurer on a basis other than that in (A), the amount of premiums receivable on the contracts of insurance resulting from that activity multiplied by 0.07;

Plus (C) if the firm is an insurer, in relation to the activities set out in (A), the amount of premiums receivable on its contracts of insurance multiplied by 0.07, excluding those contracts of insurance which:

(i) result from insurance mediation activity by another firm, where a payment has been made by the insurer to the firm under (A); or

(ii) the insurer reports in, and pays a fee under, the A.4 activity group; or

(iii) are not general insurance contracts or pure protection contracts.

Notes on annual income:

(1) For the purposes of calculating annual income, "net amount retained" means all the commission, fees, etc. in respect of insurance mediation activity that the firm has not rebated to customers or passed on to other firms (for example, where there is a commission chain). Items such as general business expenses (e.g. employees' salaries, overheads) should not be deducted.

(2) The firm must include in its income calculation, on the same basis as above, earnings from those who will become its appointed representatives immediately after authorisation.

(3) Reference to a "firm " above also includes reference to any person, including a connected travel insurance intermediary, who carried out activities which would be insurance mediation activity (in respect of general insurance contracts or pure protection contracts) if they had been carried out after 13 January 2005 or, in relation to connected travel insurance contracts, from 1 January 2009.

(4) The same firm may receive income under (A) and (C).

(5) A firm must include in (A) any income it receives from insurance mediation activity carried on by another person with respect to any general insurance contracts or pure protection contracts into which the firm has entered as insurer.

(6) In calculating the net amount retained, a firm may not deduct amounts that it rebates to a person other than another firm, a person falling within the extended definition of firm in Note (4) or the firm's customer.

(7) A firm may only deduct amounts under (A) in calculating its net amount retained if the amount is to be deducted from income that the firm must include under (A). Therefore for example:

(a) if an insurer (Firm A) pays a firm commission for arranging a general insurance contract or pure protection contract under which Firm A is the insurer, Firm A may not take that expense into account in calculating its annual income if Firm A does not receive a fee from the insured or another person in respect of that contract; and

(b) if an insurer (Firm A) pays a firm (Firm B) commission for arranging a general insurance contract or pure protection contract under which Firm A is the insurer, Firm A receives a payment from the insured under that transaction and the amount payable to Firm B exceeds the amount payable by the insured, Firm A may not take that excess into account in calculating its annual income and must instead net the sum payable by the insured to zero.

Note: subject to FEES 4.3.13 R, this table applies to all MTdF operators with permission to operate an MTF as at 1 April of the applicable fee year; irrespective of whether, and if so when, their permission to operate an MTF was subsequently cancelled during that fee year.5

2Part 1 - Method for calculating the fee for fee-paying payment service providers4

(1)

The periodic fee for fee-paying payment service providers is calculated by identifying the relevant activity group under Part 2 and then4adding the minimum fee to an additional fee calculated by multiplying the tariff base identified in Part 3 of FEES 4 Annex 11 by the appropriate rates applying to each tranche of the tariff base as indicated in the table at Part 5. For small payment institutions and small electronic money institutions4the tariff rates are not relevant and a flat fee is payable.

(2)

A fee-paying payment service provider may apply the relevant tariff bases and rates to non-UK business, as well as to its UK business, if:

(a)

it has reasonable grounds for believing that the costs of identifying the firm'sUK business separately from its non-UK business in the way described in Part 3 of FEES 4 Annex 11 is disproportionate to the difference in fees payable; and

(b)

it notifies the FCA in writing at the same time as it provides the information concerned under FEES 4.4 (Information on which fees are calculated), or, if earlier, at the time it pays the fees concerned.

(3)

For a fee-paying payment service provider which is required to comply with FEES 4.4.9 D (Information on which fees are calculated) and has not done so for this period:

(a)

the fee is calculated using (where relevant) the valuation or valuations of business applicable to the previous period, multiplied by the factor of 1.10;

(b)

an additional administrative fee of £250 is payable; and

(c)

the minimum total fee (including the administrative fee in (b)) is £650.

4Part 1A - Method for calculating the fee for fee-paying electronic money issuers

(1)

The periodic fee for fee-paying electronic money issuers is calculated by identifying the relevant activity group under Part 2A and then multiplying the tariff base identified in Part 3 of 1 R by the appropriate rates applying to each tranche of the tariff base as indicated in the table at Part 5. For small electronic money institutions, the tariff rates are not relevant and a flat fee is payable.

(2)

A fee-paying electronic money issuer may apply the relevant tariff bases and rates to non-UK business, as well as to its UK business, if:

(a)

it has reasonable grounds for believing that the costs of identifying the firm'sUK business separately from its non-UK business in the way described in Part 3 of 1 R is disproportionate to the difference in fees payable; and

(b)

it notifies the FCA in writing at the same time as it provides the information concerned under FEES 4.4 (Information on which fees are calculated), or, if earlier, at the time it pays the fees concerned.

(3)

For a fee-paying electronic money issuer which is required to comply with FEES 4.4 (Information on which fees are calculated) and has not done so for this period:

(a)

the fee is calculated using (where relevant) the valuation or valuations of business applicable to the previous period, multiplied by the factor of 1.10;

(b)

an additional administrative fee of £250 is payable; and

(c)

the minimum total fee (including the administrative fee in (b)) is £650.

4Part 1B - Method for calculating the periodic fee where the firm is both a fee-paying payment service provider and a fee-paying electronic money issuer

Add the fee calculated under Part 1 to the fee calculated under Part 1A.

6Part 1C - Method for calculating the fee for an issuer of a regulated covered bond

The issuance of regulated covered bonds by issuers is linked to activity group G.15 in this annex. The periodic fees for issuers of regulated covered bonds is calculated by multiplying the tariff base relevant to G.15 in Part 3 of 1 R by the appropriate rates applying to each tranche of the tariff base as indicated in the table at Part 5.

Part 2 - Activity groups relevant to fee-paying payment service providers4

For the purposes of calculating fees, any regulated covered bonds denominated in a currency other than sterling must be converted into sterling at the applicable exchange rate set out below.

Where an exchange rate hedging agreement was entered into in connection with the issuance of regulated covered bonds denominated in a currency other than sterling, the applicable exchange rate for those regulated cover bonds is the exchange rate stipulated in the exchange rate hedging agreement.

An exchange rate hedging agreement is any agreement entered into to hedge the market risk relating to fluctuations in exchange rates.

In all other cases, the applicable exchange rate is the daily spot rate available on the Bank of England's Statistical Interactive Database (the Bank of England exchange rate) applying on the valuation date. If the valuation date is not a business day, then the applicable exchange rate is the Bank of England exchange rate applying on the first business day following the valuation date.
