Our Panel Support Services are designed to help you to create a centrally managed and approved shortlist of investment managers and Products (also referred to as a “Panel”) based on your own selection criteria and risk tolerances. You have been provided with a Proposal and a Purchase Order. The Proposal, Purchase Order and this agreement together set out the complete terms on which we will provide Panel Support Services to you. If there is any conflict between these documents the Purchase Order should be considered first, then the Proposal and finally this agreement.

If you do not want to pay a fee increase you may terminate this Agreement by giving us one month’s notice in writing. The level of services we offer to you will be as set out in the Purchase Order and Proposal, and this will also determine the frequency with which we perform the services, the types of Products (EIS, VCT, BR etc.) considered and any other additional items specifically set out in the Purchase Order and Proposal.

The MICAP Impact Assessment process is based on the Manager’s answers to our Impact Assessment Questionnaire, which may not be verified or audited by MICAP. The resultant MICAP Impact Scores should not be taken as financial advice or a complete and comprehensive analysis of the risks of investing in the investment, which are usually set out in the Information Memorandum, Prospectus or Brochure supplied by the Investment Manager. Alternative and unquoted investments are inherently high risk and invested capital is at risk. Tax ramifications may vary depending on the investor's personal circumstances. MI Capital Research Ltd is an Appointed Representative of Thornbridge Investment Management LLP (FRN: 713859), which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
