3. Regulatory Status

​

Carter Family Office is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). We do not engage in any activity that would require FCA authorisation under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA).

 

Our role is strictly limited to that of an introducer, facilitating connections between professional or high-net-worth clients and vetted third-party providers. We do not offer financial advice, arrange deals in investments, or handle client funds. Where services require regulatory permissions, they are provided solely by appropriately authorised third parties.

​

​

All information shared by Carter Family Office—whether via this website, email, telephone, or document—is provided strictly for informational and introductory purposes only. Nothing we provide constitutes:

​

• An offer to sell or solicitation to invest

• A financial promotion under FSMA

• Investment, legal, or tax advice

​

Any actions taken following an introduction are at your sole discretion and risk. We strongly encourage you to seek independent professional advice before proceeding with any engagement or transaction.

​

5. Disclaimers on Overviews and Summaries

• Provided “as is” for reference only and may not reflect real-time data or outcomes

• Subject to change or withdrawal without notice

• Supplied without warranty as to accuracy, completeness, or suitability

Disclaimer: Carter Family Office does not provide any warranty or guarantee in relation to the performance, accuracy, or legal status of any materials or opportunities referenced. All recipients are expected to conduct their own due diligence and seek legal, financial, or tax advice as appropriate.

​

6. Non-Broker-Dealer & Passive Introducer Role

​

We are not a broker, market maker, custodian, adviser, or financial intermediary. Carter Family Office does not structure, execute, or manage transactions. We do not handle client documentation, receive funds, or participate in negotiations.
