Process

We aim to acknowledge complaints within 24 hours of receipt and provide you with a copy of the Columbia Threadneedle Investments complaint handling procedures within 5 working days. We aim to resolve your complaint within 3 working days. If we cannot resolve your complaint within 3 working days, your complaint will be escalated to the Direct Complaints Review Group. The Direct Complaints Review Group will convene to discuss the response and agree a proposed solution. If you do not accept a proposed resolution, the matter will be escalated to the Columbia Threadneedle Investments Complaints Officer. All complaints will be tracked until your complaint has been satisfied. This does not affect any other legal or statutory rights.

If you are invested in a Luxembourg SICAV, the following procedure applies:

Investors may file a complaint free of charge in their own language, stating their name, contact details and details about the product, service and entity the complaint refers to. Investors can file a complaint:

Post

Threadneedle Management Luxembourg S.A.
Attn. : Complaints Officer
6E, route de Trèves, L-2633,
Senningerberg,
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

Processing

We will respond in writing within ten (10) business days after the receipt of the complaint, to either acknowledge the receipt of the complaint or provide a response. This letter will also inform the complainant about the name of the person handling the complaint.
An answer will be sent to the complainant without undue delay and in any case within one month as of the date of receipt of the complaint. If more time is required to examine the complaint, the Complaints Officer shall inform the complainant of the causes of the delay and indicate the date at which the examination is likely to be achieved.

Escalation

Where the complainant did not obtain an answer or a satisfactory answer from the Complaints Officer, he/she has got the opportunity to raise the complaint up to the management of Columbia Threadneedle Investments. The relevant contact details will be provided with the response of the Complaints Officer.

Out-of-court complaint resolution procedure at the CSSF

We treat any complaints we receive with utmost care. We aim to resolve any complaints as soon as possible and ideally within 24 hours. If we cannot resolve the complaint within 24 hours, we will contact you with details of our process and keep you updated with the outcome.

How long will you take to answer my complaint?

We’ll aim to resolve your complaint as soon as possible. The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) allows us eight weeks to resolve a complaint before you can ask them to intervene but hopefully it won’t take that long. If we haven’t responded to all your issues within eight weeks, we’ll write to you to let you know you can refer your case to FOS.

What if I’m still unhappy following your decision or the resolution you offer?

Please let us know. Our Client Service team will discuss this with you and explain the reasons for our decision. If you’re still unhappy, once we issue our final response, you will be able to refer your complaint to FOS. FOS will only investigate your complaint after we’ve had the chance to investigate it.

Who are FOS and how do I contact them?

FOS is short for the Financial Services Ombudsman. You can contact them at:

Telephone

Post

Exchange Tower

London
E14 9SR

The Ombudsman will need you to complete a form, which you can get from their website Financial Ombudsman Service: https://help.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/help.

We’ll remind you of how to contact FOS when we send you either our final decision letter or our eight week update letter. If you refer your complaint to the Ombudsman this doesn’t affect your right to take legal action.

Does following your complaints procedure mean that I can’t follow other avenues like the Ombudsman or legal action?

No. Making a complaint doesn’t affect your right to refer your complaint to the FOS or take any legal action.

Where can I find complaints data?

Details of the number of cases referred to the FOS for individual financial businesses can be found at: http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/publications/complaints-data.html.

The FCA provide consolidated complaints data from the industry every six months at: https://www.fca.org.uk/firms/complaints-data.
