The FCA register lists the firm's permissions, including any pension transfer permission, and its current status.

What IFA Financial Advisers Do

Advisers assess a client's circumstances and recommend investments, pensions or protection accordingly. Advice charges are agreed in advance, typically as a percentage of assets, a fixed fee or an hourly rate.

Redress routes exist for authorised advice: complaints to the firm, then the Financial Ombudsman Service.

How to Choose the Right IFA Financial Adviser

Defined benefit transfer advice requires specific FCA permissions, listed against the firm's register entry. Ongoing charges deserve scrutiny: establish exactly what service the percentage buys each year.

Ongoing service charges should map to a defined annual service; ask what the review actually covers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an independent financial adviser and a restricted adviser?

An independent firm surveys the wider market; a restricted firm works from a limited product or provider set. Both are regulated, but the breadth of what they can recommend differs, and disclosure of status is mandatory.

How much does independent financial advice cost?

Costs vary with complexity: an initial piece such as a pension review sits in the hundreds-to-thousands range, and ongoing management typically charges 0.5% to 1% of assets each year, disclosed and agreed upfront.

Do I need an IFA or can I manage my investments myself?

Self-directed investing through ISA and SIPP platforms works for many people; advice earns its fee where tax planning, pension optimisation, protection and inheritance strategy interact, which is typically at larger or more complex balance sheets.

What qualifications should an IFA have?

Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning is the FCA minimum; Chartered Financial Planner and Certified Financial Planner designations indicate study beyond it. Individual advisers can be verified on the FCA register.

What happens if I receive bad financial advice from an IFA?

Complain to the firm first, which must respond within eight weeks; if unresolved, the Financial Ombudsman Service can consider the case and award compensation for eligible complaints, and firms carry professional indemnity insurance behind that.
