The Kaeltripton IFA Index lists over 105 verified independent financial adviser firms across the UK. All firms are sourced from Companies House and cross-referenced with the FCA register. The IFA index covers the full range of independent financial advice services: pension planning, investment management, inheritance tax planning, protection, retirement planning, and comprehensive financial planning.
Why use the Kaeltripton IFA Index
The index only lists firms that are real, registered UK companies sourced from the authoritative Companies House public register. Enhanced listings are additionally FCA-verified — confirming current authorisation, the specific permissions held, and that the firm is actively authorised to provide the financial advice services they offer. This verification step is not available on most financial directories.
Finding the right IFA for your needs
Use the IFA Index to search by location. Review Enhanced profiles for services descriptions that match your specific need — pension advice, investment management, inheritance tax planning, financial planning. Contact two or three firms before committing to an ongoing relationship. Verify FCA authorisation independently at register.fca.org.uk.

How many IFAs are there in the UK?
The FCA register lists over 105,000 individuals holding investment advice and financial planning permissions. The Kaeltripton Financial Index lists 105+ verified IFA firms at Standard level and growing with Enhanced and Priority listings.
Is there a shortage of IFAs in the UK?
Research consistently identifies an advice gap — more people needing advice than there are advisers available to serve them. This particularly affects consumers with modest assets who fall below the minimums of many advisory firms. The Kaeltripton Financial Index is designed to make finding local, regulated advice as easy as possible.
