If you live in the UK, please confirm that you meet one of the following conditions:
1. High-net-worth
I make this statement so that I can receive promotional communications which are exempt

income in retirement).

value of £250,000 or more. Net assets for these purposes do not include the property which is my primary residence or any money raised through a loan secured on that property.

means:

risk of losing all of the property invested.
