Client Money. We, in the course of carrying on insurance distribution, handle client money in accordance with the FCA Client Assets Sourcebook (CASS) rules, which are designed to protect You. A copy of the CASS rules is available on request. We handle client money in either one of the following ways, both of which are described in more detail below: i. it is held on Your behalf in a segregated bank account that is subject to a non-statutory trust; or ii. it is held by Us as agent of the relevant insurer (“risk transfer”). The aim of the trust is to protect You in the event of Our financial failure, or the failure of the bank or a third party at which the money may be held. In such a circumstance, Our general creditors (or those of the bank or third party) should not be able to make claims on client money, as such money will not form part of Our (or the bank’s or third party’s) property. The fact that We will hold money on trust gives rise to fiduciary duties which will be owed to You until the client money reaches the insurer, at which time Our fiduciary duties with regard to Your money will cease. By holding client money subject to a non-statutory trust, We are entitled to and may make advances of credit from the trust to enable a client’s premium obligation to be met before the premium is remitted to Us. Similarly, it allows claims and premium refunds to be paid from the trust to a client before receiving remittance of those monies from the insurer. Risk transfer applies where money is held by Us as agent of a relevant insurer in accordance with a written agreement with that insurer. The written agreement will specify the extent to which risk transfer will apply and whether it includes all items of money or is restricted for example, to the receipt of premiums. Where risk transfer applies, You will be protected to the extent that any premiums We receive from You are treated as having been received by the insurer when they are received by Us. Where the agreement extends to premium refunds and/or claims, any premium refunds or claims will be treated as received by You only when they are actually paid to You. Any interest earned on client money that is subject to a non-statutory trust will be retained by Us. We may also arrange to hold client money, that is subject to a non- statutory trust, in separately permitted designated investments with a value at least equivalent to the money that would otherwise have been paid into a client bank account. If We do this, We will be responsible for meeting any shortfall in Our client money resource which is attributable to falls in the market value of a segregated investment. Any investment returns on any segregated designated investments will be retained by Us. Where client money is held on a non- statutory trust, We can only withdraw commission from the client bank account in the following circumstances: i. when We actually receive the premium as cleared funds from You (or from a third-party premium finance provider on Your behalf); and ii. at the point at which the commission becomes due and payable to Us for Our own account provided this is consistent with the terms of business of the insurer to whom the premium is payable. Until that point commission will remain client money. Where risk transfer applies, commission will become due and payable to Us for Our own account immediately on receipt of the premium, provided this is consistent with the terms of business of the insurer to whom the premium is payable. We may transfer client money to another person, such as another intermediary, for the purpose of effecting a transaction through that person. Where We transfer client money that is subject to a non- statutory trust, to another person, We will remain liable to You for such money for as long as it remains client money.

We have agreements with some insurers (known as “risk transfer agreements”). Under these risk transfer agreements the insurers agree that they are responsible to you for any premium that you have already paid to us and that they remain responsible for any premium refunds or claims payments until the premium refund or claim payment is received by you. In this case we may hold client money due to or from the insurers in the same trust fund. 7.4. Where we do not have risk transfer agreements in place with insurers the client money we hold will still be protected within the non-statutory trust but will be known as “non risk transfer” client money.

Client Money. We, in 7.1.

We hold this either on insurance distribution, handle client money your behalf or on behalf of your insurer(s) as determined by the agreement we have in accordance place with each insurer. 7.2. In most cases we will have an agreement with the FCA Client Assets Sourcebook (CASS) rules, which are designed to protect You. A copy of the CASS rules is available on request. We handle client money in either one of the following ways, both of which are described in more detail below: i. it is held on Your behalf in a segregated bank account that is subject to a non-statutory trust; or ii. it is held by Us insurers where we act as agent of for the relevant insurer (“risk transfer”). The aim of the trust is to protect You in the event of Our financial failure, or the failure of the bank or a third party at which the and any money may be held. In such a circumstance, Our general creditors (or those of the bank or third party) should not be able to make claims on client money, as such money will not form part of Our (or the bank’s or third party’s) property. The fact that We will hold money on trust gives rise to fiduciary duties which received by us will be owed to You until the client money reaches the insurer, at which time Our fiduciary duties with regard to Your money will cease. By holding client money subject to a non-statutory trust, We are entitled to and may make advances of credit from the trust to enable a client’s premium obligation to be met before the premium is remitted to Us. Similarly, it allows claims and premium refunds to be paid from the trust to a client before receiving remittance of those monies from the insurer. Risk transfer applies where money is held by Us as agent of a relevant insurer in accordance with a written agreement with that insurer. The written agreement will specify the extent to which risk transfer will apply and whether it includes all items of money or is restricted for example, to the receipt of premiums. Where risk transfer applies, You will be protected to the extent that any premiums We receive from You are treated as having if it has been received by the insurer when they are and the insurer will bear the risk of any losses in the event that our firm becomes insolvent. In the same way, we may also have an agreement with the insurer that any claims money or premium refunds received by Us. Where us from the agreement extends to premium refunds and/or claims, any premium refunds or claims insurer will not be treated as received by You only when you until they are actually paid over to Youyou. Any interest earned on We may hold both insurer and client money in the same bank account, but when this happens insurers will have previously agreed that is subject to any claim by you on monies that are client money will come before their claim. 7.3. In cases where we do not have such an agreement with an insurer we will hold your money in either a statutory or a non-statutory trust client money bank account. These accounts are governed by rules that seek to protect clients against any inability of an insurance broker to transfer premiums to an insurer, or to transfer refunds and/or claims money to a client. 7.4. The terms of a non-statutory trust account allow us to use the money held in trust on behalf of one client to pay another client’s premium before it is received from that client and to pay premium refunds or claims before we receive payment from the insurer. This is in line with standard industry practice and we are not permitted to use client money for any other purpose. If you do not wish us to hold your money in a non- statutory trust account, please let us know. 7.5. Any commission due to us may be taken from the client money account and this may be taken before we pass the premium onto the insurer. If we earn interest on any money held in this account this will be retained by Usus and not passed on to you. 7.6. We may also arrange need to hold client moneytransfer money to an affiliate, where this is required, you authorise us to do so. If we use a third party to place your insurance we may need to transfer your money to that party but we still remain responsible for your money until it is subject deemed to be received by the insurer. In some cases this may mean that your money is transferred to a non- statutory trust, in separately permitted designated investments with a value at least equivalent to third party outside of the money that would otherwise have been paid into a client bank accountUK where the legal and regulatory systems are different. If We such a third party fails, your money may be treated differently than it would had the third party been in the UK. 7.7. If you do thisnot want your money to be passed outside of the UK or if you have any other objections to this section, We please contact us immediately. If we do not hear from you we will be responsible for meeting any shortfall in Our assume you consent to us handling client money resource which is attributable to falls in the market value of a segregated investment. Any investment returns on any segregated designated investments will be retained by Us. Where client money is held on a non- statutory trust, We can only withdraw commission from the client bank account in the following circumstances: i. when We actually receive the premium as cleared funds from You (or from a third-party premium finance provider on Your behalf); and ii. at the point at which the commission becomes due and payable to Us for Our own account provided this is consistent with the terms of business of the insurer to whom the premium is payable.

Risk transfer applies where money is held by Us as agent of a relevant insurer in accordance with a written agreement with that insurer. The written agreement will specify the extent to which risk transfer will apply and whether it includes all items of money or is restricted for example, to the receipt of premiums. Where risk transfer applies, You will be protected to the extent that any premiums We receive from You are treated as having been received by the insurer when they are received by Us. Where the agreement extends to premium refunds and/or claims, any premium refunds or claims will be treated as received by You only when they are actually paid to You. Client money is kept separate from Our own money. Client money will be deposited into a client bank account with an authorised UK clearing bank. Any interest earned on client money that is subject to a non-statutory trust will be retained by Us. We may also arrange to hold client money, that is subject to a non- statutory trust, in separately permitted designated investments with a value at least equivalent to the money that would otherwise have been paid into a client bank account. If We do this, We will be responsible for meeting any shortfall in Our client money resource which is attributable to falls in the market value of a segregated investment. Any investment returns on any segregated designated investments will be retained by Us. Where client money is held on a non- statutory trust, We can only withdraw commission from the client bank account in the following circumstances: i. when We actually receive the premium as cleared funds from You (or from a third-party premium finance provider on Your behalf); and ii. at the point at which the commission becomes due and payable to Us for Our own account provided this is consistent with the terms of business of the insurer to whom the premium is payable. Until that point commission will remain client money. Where risk transfer applies, commission will become due and payable to Us for Our own account immediately on receipt of the premium, provided this is consistent with the terms of business of the insurer to whom the premium is payable. We may transfer client money to another person, such as another intermediary, for the purpose of effecting a transaction through that person. Where We transfer client money that is subject to a non- statutory trust, to another person, We will remain liable to You for such money for as long as it remains client money.

Client Money. We7.1. If we hold money on a client’s behalf, in the course of carrying on insurance distribution, handle client money in accordance with the FCA Client Assets Sourcebook (CASS) rules, which are designed to protect You. A copy of the CASS rules is available on request. We handle client money in either one of the following ways, both of which are described in more detail below: i. it is will be held on Your behalf in a segregated bank account trust fund that is subject separate from our own cash assets. These separate trust fund arrangements are commonly known as “client money”. If we were ever unable to a non-statutory trust; or ii. it is held by Us as agent of the relevant insurer pay our debts, then those to whom we owe money (“risk transfer”). The aim of the trust is to protect You in the event of Our financial failure, or the failure of the bank or a third party at which the money may be held. In such a circumstance, Our general creditors (or those of the bank or third partyour creditors) should not be able to make claims on our client money, money in the separate trust funds as such money will it does not form part of Our (or the bank’s or third party’s) propertyour own cash assets. 7.2. The fact trust arrangement we use for client money is known as a non-statutory trust. Here, we may use premiums and claims monies we receive to cross-fund clients’ premiums and claims; for example we may pay a premium on to an insurer before we have received it from the client if we believe it is in the best interests of that client. 7.3. We have agreements with some insurers (known as “risk transfer agreements”). Under these risk transfer agreements the insurers agree that they are responsible to you for any premium that you have already paid to us and that they remain responsible for any premium refunds or claims payments until the premium refund or claim payment is received by you. In this case we may hold client money due to or from the insurers in the same trust fund. 7.4. Where we do not have risk transfer agreements in place with insurers the client money we hold will still be protected within the non-statutory trust but will be known as “non risk transfer” client money. Non risk transfer clients have priority over insurers to the money in the trust fund as insurers granting risk transfer have agreed to subordinate their interests in the trust to those of Marsh Commercial’s non risk transfer clients. 7.5. We do not use client money to pay ourselves commission before we receive your premium. 7.6. When we hold client money on trust for you this gives rise to fiduciary duties which upon us that will not be owed to You discharged until the client money reaches is deemed to have reached the insurerinsurer or product provider (as detailed above, at which time Our this is when we receive premium in the case of risk transfer agreements). 7.7.
