Notes: |
|||
1. |
In the Appendix the heading and types of business specified in the headings are to be read in conjunction with the paragraphs appearing beneath them. |
||
2. |
Thus, for example, paragraph 24,13 consistent with the heading above it, refers only to personal recommendations given in relation to13non-investment insurance contracts given to a consumer.10 33 |
||
122A. |
In relation to activity number 9A, see TC 2.1.5HR and TC 2.1.6R(2). There is no qualification for this activity in the list of qualifications set out in TC Appendix 4E. However, the effect of TC 2.1.5HR is that an employeeadvising on P2P agreements must be qualified to the same standard as if that employee were providing investment advice to retail clients on retail investment products. |
||
103. |
For the purpose of product numbers 20, 20A and 21 the activity of arranging (bringing about) referred to in the activity column: (a) includes activity which would be arranging (bringing about) but for the exclusion in article 28A of the Regulated Activities Order; and (b) does not include activities which taken on their own would not fall within the definition of that activity. For these purposes no account should be taken of the fact that for an activity to be a regulated activity it must be carried on by way of business (see PERG 4.3). |
||
4. |
In this Appendix, paragraphs 23A, 23B, 23C, 23D and 23E relate to the implementation of article 9(1) of the MCD. The specified activities do not, in and of themselves, attract a qualification requirement. However, where those activities overlap with those specified under the heading "mortgage activity and reversion activity carried on for a customer", qualification requirements may apply. |
