Investor eligibility

Because Proinvestos Ltd (trading as Vestos Property) is not FCA-authorised, we can only communicate detailed investment information to people who fall inside an exemption under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (as amended). Before viewing full deal financials or submitting an investor inquiry, you will be asked to self-certify as one of the categories below.

High Net Worth Individual (Article 48)

You may self-certify if, in the last financial year, you had either:

  • An annual income of £170,000 or more, or
  • Net assets of £430,000 or more, excluding your main home, pensions and life-cover policies.

Thresholds shown are illustrative; the operative wording under the Financial Promotion Order will be presented in the certification form and will be updated in line with FCA rules.

Self-certified Sophisticated Investor (Article 50A)

You may self-certify if in the last two years you have satisfied at least one of the following:

  • Worked in private equity, or in the provision of finance for SMEs, in a professional capacity;
  • Been a director of a company with an annual turnover of at least £1.6 million;
  • Made two or more investments in an unlisted company; or
  • Been a member of a network or syndicate of business angels for at least six months.

Restricted Investor (Article 51)

You may certify as a Restricted Investor if you confirm that in the next 12 months you will not invest more than 10% of your net investible assets in non-mainstream pooled investments.

Professional / Elective Professional

Firms authorised by the FCA, family offices and other per-se professional clients may access materials on that basis, subject to us receiving reasonable evidence.

How certification works on this site

Self-certification is captured through an on-screen declaration. Making a false declaration to obtain access to investments intended for qualifying investors may be a criminal offence. Certification is valid for 12 months and we may ask you to re-certify at any time.
