FCA revokes permissions of Ulster adviser firm
The FCA has halted regulated business at a Northern Ireland financial adviser by revoking its Part 4A permissions.
Attanta Limited (FRN 301621) - formerly known as Neovision Wealth Management Limited – is no longer allowed to carry out regulated business after failing to pay FCA fees.
The firm is based in Londonderry but also had an office in Ealing, west London.
The firm traded previously under a number of names including Attanta and Attanta Wealth Management. It also previously used other names such as Harrison Charles Wealth Management, TJM Wealth Management Limited, Amazing Mortgages and Avoncourt Mortgages.
The FCA said in a notice this week that it had taken the decision because it considers that the firm is carrying on no regulated activity to which the Firm’s Part 4A permission relates.
The firm was authorised from October 2004 and was allowed to carry out a variety of regulated business, including advising on investments, pension transfers and mortgages.
The FCA said that recently the firm had failed to pay regulatory fees including an invoice dated 30 August 2023 for fees and levies of £4,321.77 and an invoice dated 10 January 2023 for periodic fees and levies of £6,463.35.
The FCA said in a statement: “The Authority has cancelled the permission and withdrawn the authorisation of Attanta Limited formerly known as Neovision Wealth Management Limited. (“Attanta”) of 2 Crawford Square, Londonderry, BT48 7HR “(principal place of business address) and Suite 18 Ealing House, 33 Hangar (sic) Lane, London W5 3HJ. The reason for this action is that the Authority considers Attanta is carrying on no regulated activities to which its Part 4A permission relates."
