The affairs, business and property of Blankstone Sington Limited are being managed by the Joint Special Administrators who act as agents of the Company without personal liability. Andrew Poxon, Alex Cadwallader and Hilary Pascoe are authorised to act as insolvency practitioners by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
Blankstone Sington Limited remains authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. FCA reference number 143694. Registered in England No. 02378144.
RESTRICTIONS ON ACTIVITIES
The Special Administrators consider that the quickest and most cost-effective way for Client Assets to be returned to clients is by way of a transfer to a single broker regulated by the FCA. Clients will not have access to their Client Assets until a transfer to a new broker has completed. The Special Administrators aim to conduct a transfer of Client Assets as quickly as possible and are working with all parties to avoid any protracted disruption to clients. All Blankstone staff have been retained by the Special Administrators to assist with a transfer.
Voluntary Requirements
Please note that Blankstone Sington Limited entered voluntary requirements with its regulator on 16th November 2021. The voluntary requirements remain in place during Special Administration.
Blankstone Sington Limited is restricted from disposing of its assets without the written consent of the FCA. This requirement does not apply to disposals made during the ordinary course of its business. For example, the Company is not restricted from making usual payments to its suppliers and salary payments to its employees.
The requirements also restrict Blankstone Sington Limited from accepting client money and custody assets from existing clients, and from opening accounts for new clients, without the written consent of the FCA. There are exceptions to this requirement, for example movements associated with open trade and the positions of its customers.
