Frequently asked questions

JSP Hinters is a trading style of Impact Marketing Network Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (Company Registration Number: 08600907). Under that trading style we provide introductory marketing materials and services, which principally means researching and explaining alternative asset markets.

No. JSP Hinters is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The introductory marketing services we provide are not regulated, and we are not a registered financial adviser.

Because of this, you will not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme in connection with our services.

No. We do not provide personal investment advice, we do not recommend or assess individual investments, we do not assess whether anything is suitable for you, and we do not manage investments or hold client money.

Our reports are educational. They explain how a market works, what instruments exist, and what questions to ask. They are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold anything.

No. JSP Hinters publishes introductory research. We do not originate, arrange, broker or recommend specific investments, and nothing on this website is a financial promotion of any particular investment.

Use the Request Report button on any report, or visit the request a report page directly. You will be asked for your name, email address, telephone number and a regulatory confirmation.

We will then review your certification and come back to you to confirm access.

Our reports are provided as introductory marketing materials and there is no charge for requesting one. Nothing on this website is a sales offer.

No. Our reports explain markets, structures and risks. They deliberately do not recommend an investment, and they do not assess suitability for any reader.

Our published research currently covers gold, alternative assets generally, and UK property investment and development. Art, whisky and aged spirits, and luxury goods are in development.

We would be glad to hear which market you would like us to look at next — please tell us.

Our material is intended for investors in recognised categories. The self-certification asks you to confirm which category, if any, describes your circumstances, so that we can record your status before providing research.

There are two:

• High Net Worth Individual — annual income of £100,000 or more, or net assets of £250,000 or more, in the last financial year.
• Self-Certified Sophisticated Investor — you meet at least one of the four criteria set out on the Self Certification page.

Net assets are calculated excluding your main residence, any pension or pension withdrawal rights, and any rights under qualifying insurance contracts.

We rely on the confirmation you give us. We do not independently verify it, which is why we ask you to complete a certification only if you genuinely satisfy the criteria.

Please do not submit a certification and do not proceed with any investment. Our reports are not written for readers in that position.

No. Certification does not commit you to any offering and does not mean any opportunity is right for you. It is a statement of your circumstances, not a decision to invest.

Investing in non-readily realisable and/or non-transferable securities involves a high degree of risk. The value of an investment can fall as well as rise, and you may lose all of the money you invest. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

The full warning is set out on our Risk Factors page.

No. Because our services are not regulated, the protections that apply to regulated investments do not apply here. You will not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service, and your investment would not be covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Yes. If you are considering whether to invest in any market described in our reports, please seek independent professional advice before making any investment decision.
