Fraud Prevention
Capel Asset Management is committed to protecting investors and maintaining the security of communications and transactions involving our business. Unfortunately, fraudsters may seek to impersonate legitimate financial services firms in an attempt to obtain personal information, banking details, or investment funds. Such activity is commonly referred to as clone firm fraud. We encourage all clients, prospective investors and professional advisers to remain vigilant against investment scams and fraudulent communications.
How We Communicate
Capel Asset Management will never ask you to disclose passwords or security credentials via email; request that funds be transferred to a personal bank account; pressure you into making an immediate investment decision; contact you unexpectedly and ask you to move money urgently; or ask you to make payments to bank accounts that are not in the name of Capel Asset Management or the relevant authorised fund. If you receive any communication that appears suspicious, please contact us directly using the contact details published on this website before taking any action.
