Filing your complaint

Handling of the complaint

In this respect, it will also be reviewed whether adequate measures can immediately be taken in order to avoid repetition. In the handling of the complaint, at least the Compliance Officer of Providence Capital will also be involved.

Providence Capital aims at completion of the complaints handling within 14 works. If it is foreseeable that giving an answer within 14 workdays is not feasible, the management board will notify you, stating the reason for the delay and the term within which you may expect an answer. This term will, in principle, not exceed six weeks.
