Regulatory & Legal
This page summarises key regulatory, legal, operational, and conduct-related information concerning Total Asset International Limited (trading as Total Asset Management) and the way in which information on this website should be understood. It is designed to help users understand the context in which this website is made available and the limitations that apply to it.
This website is intended principally for professional contacts, sophisticated or otherwise permitted investors, intermediaries, counterparties, and other persons who may lawfully receive information about international investment-related services in their own jurisdiction. The contents should not be treated as being directed at retail investors in jurisdictions where that would be restricted or where local authorisation would be required and not in place.
1. Website Disclaimer
The information on this website is for general informational purposes only. It should not be distributed, relied upon, or interpreted as a personal recommendation, invitation, offer, solicitation, endorsement, commitment, or guarantee. Any views, expectations, assumptions, forecasts, opinions, or projections expressed on this website are subject to change and may become outdated without notice.
The suitability of any service, structure, or investment approach described on this website will depend on the circumstances of the relevant person and the jurisdictions involved. Any person considering an investment-related decision should obtain independent professional advice before acting.
2. Regulatory Position and Jurisdiction
Total Asset International Limited is an international business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Access to this website and any follow-up engagement may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions. We do not seek, through this website alone, to provide services into jurisdictions where local licensing, registration, filing, or approval requirements apply unless such requirements have been separately addressed through appropriate arrangements.
Users are responsible for ensuring that they may lawfully access this website and receive information from it. We reserve the right to refuse enquiries, onboarding requests, subscriptions, or communications from any jurisdiction, category of person, referral source, or proposed arrangement where we consider that necessary for legal, regulatory, operational, or reputational reasons.
3. Client Money, Custody and Asset Handling
Total Asset Management does not necessarily hold client assets directly in all cases. Depending on the structure and service involved, assets, cash, or records may be held or administered through custodians, nominees, banks, platforms, administrators, brokers, or other specialist service providers. The precise arrangements will depend on the product, mandate, account structure, and jurisdiction involved.
Where third-party providers are used, investors should understand that such arrangements carry operational, legal, insolvency, and jurisdictional risks. The availability and scope of segregation, insolvency protection, compensation, or regulatory recourse may vary significantly depending on the provider and location involved.
4. Compensation and Investor Protection Schemes
As an international business company, Total Asset International Limited is not represented on this website as participating in any statutory investor compensation or deposit protection scheme unless expressly stated in relation to a specific product or arrangement. Any protection available to investors may instead depend on the documentation, jurisdiction, custodian, bank, platform, or counterparty involved in the relevant arrangement.
Users should not assume that protections available in one country, such as compensation schemes or ombudsman access, will apply to all arrangements or to all services described generally on this website.
5. Data Protection, Privacy and Communications
We are committed to handling personal data responsibly and to maintaining appropriate confidentiality, information-security, and communications controls. Further detail is provided in our Privacy Policy and related notices. For security and quality-assurance purposes, communications may be logged, retained, monitored, or reviewed where lawful and appropriate.
6. Third-Party Websites and Social Media
Links to third-party websites, platforms, publications, or social media channels are provided for convenience only. We do not control and are not responsible for external content, availability, terms, privacy practices, or security arrangements. Information published through social media or third-party communication platforms is provided for informational purposes only and should not be treated as advice or as a substitute for formal documentation.
Users should avoid sharing account credentials, sensitive personal information, or payment instructions via public or insecure channels.
7. Conflicts of Interest
Conflicts of interest can arise in a variety of circumstances, including where a firm acts for multiple clients, uses connected service providers, maintains relationships with external managers or platforms, or manages internal governance, remuneration, or information flows that could create competing duties or incentives. We maintain policies and procedures designed to identify, assess, manage, record, and where appropriate disclose conflicts of interest.
Our objective is to act fairly, maintain appropriate independence of judgement, and ensure that client interests are not improperly subordinated to our own interests or the interests of another client, employee, service provider, or related party. Where a conflict cannot be managed adequately, we may disclose it or decline to act.
8. Governance Controls
Our internal governance framework may include controls relating to personal account dealing, gifts and hospitality, outside business interests, information barriers, confidentiality, escalation, approvals, incident reporting, training, cyber security, and complaints handling. These controls are intended to support sound governance, fair treatment, and appropriate operational discipline.
9. Client Categorisation and Fair Treatment
The protections, disclosures, and processes relevant to a relationship may vary depending on the type of client and the nature of the service. Client categorisation, eligibility screening, onboarding standards, and due-diligence requirements may therefore be applied before any relationship is formed or expanded. Our Client Classification page provides further information regarding the effect that categorisation may have on available protections and disclosures.
We aim to communicate in a way that is clear, fair, and not misleading and to maintain policies that support consistent and fair handling of enquiries, complaints, and operational matters.
10. Sustainability, ESG and Responsible Investment References
Where environmental, social, governance, sustainability, ethical, thematic, or responsible investment considerations are referenced on this website, such references should be understood in the context of the specific strategy, screening criteria, investment process, disclosure framework, and legal documentation relevant to that service or portfolio. These concepts are evolving and may be subject to differing definitions across jurisdictions, providers, and regulatory frameworks.
Such references do not guarantee any specific outcome, classification, impact measurement, or regulatory treatment unless expressly stated in formal documentation.
11. Updates and Further Information
This page may be updated from time to time to reflect legal, operational, structural, or regulatory changes. Additional information regarding specific products, onboarding procedures, custodial arrangements, privacy practices, or complaints handling may be available upon request where appropriate and lawful to provide.
