(1)An appointed representative is an exempted person as respects investment business carried on by him as such a representative.
(2)For the purposes of this Act an appointed representative is a person—
(a)who is employed by an authorised person (his “principal") under a contract for services which—
(i)requires or permits him to carry on investment business to which this section applies; and
(ii)complies with subsections (4) and (5) below; and
(b)for whose activities in carrying on the whole or part of that investment business his principal has accepted responsibility in writing;
and the investment business carried on by an appointed representative as such is the investment business for which his principal has accepted responsibility.
(3)This section applies to investment business carried on by an appointed representative which consists of—
(a)procuring or endeavouring to procure the persons with whom he deals to enter into investment agreements with his principal or (if not prohibited by his contract) with other persons;
(b)giving advice to the persons with whom he deals about entering into investment agreements with his principal or (if not prohibited by his contract) with other persons; or
(c)giving advice as to the sale of investments issued by his principal or as to the exercise of rights conferred by an investment whether or not issued as aforesaid.
(4)If the contract between an appointed representative and his principal does not prohibit the representative from procuring or endeavouring to procure persons to enter into investment agreements with persons other than his principal it must make provision for enabling the principal either to impose such a prohibition or to restrict the kinds of investment to which those agreements may relate or the other persons with whom they may be entered into.
(5)If the contract between an appointed representative and his principal does not prohibit the representative from giving advice about entering into investment agreements with persons other than his principal it must make provision for enabling the principal either to impose such a prohibition or to restrict the kinds of advice which the representative may give by reference to the kinds of investment in relation to which or the persons with whom the representative may advise that investment agreements should be made.
(6)The principal of an appointed representative shall be responsible, to the same extent as if he had expressly authorised it, for anything said or done or omitted by the representative in carrying on the investment business for which he has accepted responsibility.
(7)In determining whether an authorised person has complied with—
(a)any provision contained in or made under this Act; or
(b)any rules of a recognised self-regulating organisation or recognised professional body,
anything which a person who at the material time is or was an appointed representative of the authorised person has said, done or omitted as respects investment business for which the authorised person has accepted responsibility shall be treated as having been said, done or omitted by the authorised person.
(8)Nothing in subsection (7) above shall cause the knowledge or intentions of an appointed representative to be attributed to his principal for the purpose of determining whether the principal has committed a criminal offence unless in all the circumstances it is reasonable for them to be attributed to him.
(9)In this Act “investment agreement” means any agreement the making or performance of which by either party constitutes an activity which falls within any paragraph of Part II of Schedule 1 to this Act or would do so apart from Parts III and IV of that Schedule.
