A model built on a clear division of roles

HBRD Investments is an introducer. We connect investors with opportunities sourced through our network — we do not manage capital, hold client assets, or provide investment advice. This is a deliberate structure, and it shapes everything about how we work.

When an investor engages with HBRD, the relationship that follows is between them and the counterparty, directly. We are not in the chain of custody. We do not touch capital at any point. Our role ends once an aligned introduction is made and the parties choose to proceed.

We do not hold or manage investor capital. All transactions are executed directly between the investor and the counterparty offering the opportunity. Funds move along whatever path that transaction's own legal documentation specifies — never through HBRD.

We do not provide investment advice. We share information about opportunities in our network and the structures behind them. Whether an opportunity is suitable for a given investor is a judgment we leave to the investor and their own advisers, who understand their full financial position in a way we never will.

We are compensated by the counterparty, not the investor. There is no fee, commission, or cost to investors for any introduction we make. We are paid by the operator or issuer if and when a placement proceeds. Our incentive is to make introductions that go somewhere — not to generate volume.

Regulatory Status

HBRD Limited (Company No. 13976355) is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. As an introducer that does not manage assets, provide advice, or hold client money, we operate outside the activities that require FCA authorisation. We state this clearly and upfront — not as a footnote — so that any investor we work with understands exactly what role we play, and what role we don't.

Some introducers blur the line between sourcing and advising. We don't. Investors are better served by a clean separation: we bring relevant, well-documented opportunities to the table, and the investor's own legal, tax, and investment advisers assess fit, structure risk, and suitability.

Every opportunity we introduce comes with its own independent legal documentation, drafted by the counterparty's own counsel — not by us. We are not a party to the investment, which means we have no ability and no incentive to shape its terms in ways that suit us over the investor.

Before any opportunity reaches an investor, we look at the counterparty's corporate structure and standing; the legal documentation underpinning the opportunity, including security and charge structures where relevant; whether the operator has a verifiable track record for the type of transaction being offered; and basic reputational and regulatory checks on the parties involved.

This is not a substitute for an investor's own due diligence, and it should not be treated as one. It is a first filter — designed to mean that what reaches an investor's desk is worth the time to evaluate properly.

Whatever opportunity you are looking at — through HBRD or anyone else — we would always recommend independent legal review of the transaction documents, your own tax and investment advice based on your specific position, and direct diligence on the counterparty beyond whatever an introducer provides.

If anything here raises a question — about structure, about a specific opportunity, or about how a transaction would actually run — we would rather answer it directly than have it sit unasked.
