Acadian Asset Management (UK) Limited (“Acadian UK”) has implemented a complaints handing policy to ensure that Acadian UK is able to handle client or potential client complaints promptly, easily and in a transparent manner.

This policy applies to all complaints (as defined below) originating from any type of client, including both retail and professional clients. Consideration has been given to the Financial Conducts Authority’s (FCA) sourcebook on Dispute Resolution: Complaints (DISP), which applies to complaints received from retail clients and complaints in respect of MiFID business.

Definition of a Complaint
Under UK MiFID II a complaint can be made by a client or a potential client. A complaint is any oral or written expression of dissatisfaction, whether justified or not (a “Complaint”).

Scope of Policy
The Policy applies to all employees of Acadian UK and will govern all complaints made by clients or potential clients. All complaints should be immediately directed to the compliance department.

Procedure
It is Acadian UK’s policy to assess all Complaints fairly and promptly and to take appropriate remedial measures on the basis of such assessment. Clients and potential clients may submit complaints free of charge. All Complaints will be treated as strictly confidential and we will communicate clearly with clients or potential clients in plain language. We shall reply to the Complaint without undue delay.

We will investigate any Complaints effectively, impartially, competently and diligently and will assess whether any remedial action or redress is appropriate, if we uphold the Complaint.

Additional requirements for Eligible Complainants (is defined in DISP 2.7.3R)

An Eligible Complainant may refer the complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) if they are dissatisfied, provided the complaint falls within its jurisdiction and the Complaint is referred within six months of receipt of a final notice or where a resolution is not reached within eight weeks.

Acadian UK will also provide the complainant with the FOS standard leaflet, found here: http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/publications/consumer-leaflet.htm).
