How We Manage of Conflicts of Interest
In general, we deal with and manage relevant conflicts as follows:
- Disclosure: Providing you with information about conflicts, allowing you to assess their significance when evaluating our services.
- Control: We manage acceptable conflicts through means such as policies and procedures.
- Avoidance: This includes avoiding conflicts that are prohibited by law as well as conflicts that cannot effectively be addressed.
At FCSL, we have adopted policies and procedures to assist in identifying conflicts of interest. Conflicts deemed too significant to be addressed through controls or disclosures will be avoided. If the conflict cannot be avoided, we will control the conflict with policies and processes, and where it will assist in managing the conflict, we will provide disclosure to you in order to explain how we manage the conflict in your best interests. This disclosure will help you understand the nature of your relationship with FCSL. A full list of specific material conflicts of interest and how we address such conflicts are described here.
