Certain investments offered by or through Butler Family Investments Limited may involve a high degree of risk, including the risk of total loss of capital. Such investments are suitable only for investors who fully understand and are willing to assume the risks involved. Prospective investors should carefully consider whether an investment is suitable for them in light of their individual circumstances, financial position, investment objectives, and risk tolerance.

6. Anti-Money Laundering

Butler Family Investments Limited is committed to the highest standards of anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) compliance. We adhere to all applicable AML and CTF legislation, including the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (as amended), the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, and the Terrorism Act 2000.

As part of our commitment to preventing money laundering and terrorist financing, we implement the following measures:

  • Customer Due Diligence (CDD): We conduct thorough identity verification and due diligence checks on all clients and prospective clients before establishing a business relationship or carrying out occasional transactions. This includes verifying the identity of beneficial owners and understanding the nature and purpose of the business relationship.
  • Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD): Where a higher risk of money laundering or terrorist financing is identified, we apply enhanced due diligence measures, including obtaining additional information about the source of funds and source of wealth, and conducting more frequent monitoring of the business relationship.
  • Ongoing Monitoring: We continuously monitor client transactions and business relationships to detect and report any suspicious activity. This includes screening against relevant sanctions lists and politically exposed persons (PEP) databases.
  • Suspicious Activity Reporting: Where we identify or suspect money laundering or terrorist financing activity, we are required to submit a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) to the National Crime Agency (NCA) in accordance with our legal obligations.
  • Record Keeping: We maintain comprehensive records of all customer due diligence documentation and transaction records for a minimum of five years after the end of the business relationship, in accordance with regulatory requirements.
  • Staff Training: All relevant staff receive regular training on AML and CTF obligations, including how to identify and report suspicious activity.

We reserve the right to refuse to establish a business relationship, to terminate an existing business relationship, or to refuse to process a transaction where we are unable to satisfactorily complete our due diligence procedures or where we have concerns about the legitimacy of a transaction or the source of funds.
