We have very high standards and do everything we can to ensure that all our clients get the best possible service, but even in the best organisations, mistakes can occasionally happen or expectations may not always be met. It is only when our clients take the trouble to tell us about them that we can try and put things right and make improvements for the future.
It is helpful if you give us as much relevant information as possible relating to your complaint and your contact details.
The Model Portfolio Service from M&G Wealth is a service for financial advisers. If you want to complain about advice you have received, you should contact your financial adviser.
M&G Wealth Investments LLP is part of the M&G plc group and follow the same complaints process as other entities within the group.
A complaint manager will be appointed to resolve any concerns raised to your satisfaction.
We always try to reach an agreeable solution as quickly as possible with our aim to have your complaint resolved within 5 business days. Business days are Monday to Friday excluding Bank Holidays. Where practical we will call you to resolve the problem immediately.
Some complaints are more complex than others and may take some time to investigate. So it may not be possible to resolve your complaint within 5 business days.
If this is the case we will write to you to let you know that we have received your complaint and that we are dealing with it.
Where we have to collate and analyse information from different sources it may take longer to deal with your complaint. We will update you on our progress 4 weeks after receiving your complaint.
In the unlikely event of us not having resolved your complaint within 8 weeks of us receiving it, then for certain types of complaints, you have the right to refer to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Full details of your rights will be sent to you after 8 weeks.
Once we have fully investigated your complaint we will write to you with our final response.
We will always try to reach an agreeable solution with you but appreciate that there may be occasions when this is not possible.
In these circumstances you have the right to approach an independent complaints authority. In most cases it will be the Financial Ombudsman Service. Full details will be sent to you with our final response.
