How to complain
You can write to Investment Fund Services, Marlborough House, 59 Chorley New Road, Bolton, BL1 4QP
You can call: 0808 178 9321 or +44 1204 803 932 (if calling from overseas).

We need to know what’s gone wrong and what you want us to do to put it right.
What we'll do to resolve your complaint
We will always strive to deal with your complaint fairly, effectively, and promptly. To enable us to do this we will.
▪ Get it to the right person to investigate.
▪ Resolve your complaint as soon as possible.
▪ We may ask you for further information to help us reach a decision.
▪ Give you regular updates.
We’ll acknowledge your complaint within 5 working days of receiving it. In some cases, we’ll have had time to consider the matter and see what has gone wrong. If so, we will give you our decision in this letter.
If we can’t reach a decision in time to include it in your acknowledgement letter, we’ll continue to investigate, to find out what’s gone wrong and what needs to be done to put things right.
No later than 4 weeks after we receive your complaint, we’ll contact you again. We would normally expect this to be our final decision. If we can’t give you the results of our investigation, we’ll explain why we’re not able to do so and tell you when we’ll next contact you.
Every effort will be made to resolve complaints within the first eight weeks. If the investigation is not complete within eight weeks, a further letter will be sent explaining that the firm is still not able to provide a final response. The letter will include an explanation of why the firm is not able to make a final response and an indication of when it expects to be able to provide one.
If the investigation is not complete within eight weeks of receipt, you may be able to refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).
What happens after my complaint is resolved?
We analyse each complaint received to record any errors that may have occurred. Our senior management team reviews this analysis monthly to improve the level of service that we provide. We report all complaints received to the Financial Conduct Authority twice a year.
If you’re not happy with our final decision
If you feel we’ve not considered all your issues or you can provide further information, please let us know and we’ll be happy to review the matter further.
If you’re not happy with the outcome, you can ask the Financial Ombudsman Service to carry out a review of your complaint within six months of our final response. The service is free and impartial and can help with most complaints if you’re a:
▪ Customer
▪ Business with fewer than 10 people and an annual turnover of less than €2 million.
▪ Charity with an annual income of less than £6.5 million
▪ Trustee of a trust with a net asset value of less than £5 million
▪ Business with fewer than 50 people and an annual turnover of less than £6.5 million or a balance sheet total of less than £5 million.
