If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of our service, we want to hear from you. This policy explains how to make a complaint and how we will handle it.
- Regulatory Context
The Amplitude Fund (Falcon Hybrid SPC – The Amplitude Fund SP) is managed by Falcon Investment Management Ltd (“Falcon“), which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as a Full Scope Alternative Investment Fund Manager (FRN: 673552).
Falcon is responsible for ensuring complaints are handled in accordance with the FCA’s Dispute Resolution: Complaints sourcebook (DISP). Karl Finance operates under Falcon’s regulatory umbrella and follows the same complaints procedures.
- What Is a Complaint?
A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction, whether oral or written, about:
- The provision of, or failure to provide, a financial service or product
- The conduct of Karl Finance, Falcon, or their staff
- Any aspect of the management or administration of The Amplitude Fund
- Who Can Complain?
Under FCA rules, the following persons are “eligible complainants” entitled to have their complaint considered under this procedure and, if unresolved, referred to the Financial Ombudsman Service:
