What IFA Financial Advisers Do

The core of advice is suitability: matching products to a client's objectives, capacity for loss and time horizon. Qualification and fee-disclosure requirements apply to all firms advising on retail investments.

Ombudsman and FSCS protection follow authorisation, which is why the register check precedes everything else.

How to Choose the Right IFA Financial Adviser

Match the adviser to the need: pension transfers, retirement income and inheritance planning are distinct specialisms. Probe the review process: what is assessed annually and what triggers advice between reviews.

Expect an initial charge for the advice work plus an ongoing charge if the firm reviews the portfolio annually.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The label is regulatory, not marketing: independent means a broad market view of retail investment products, restricted means a defined subset. The firm's disclosure documents state which applies.

How much does independent financial advice cost?

Initial work commonly runs from several hundred pounds to the low thousands depending on complexity, with ongoing charges typically between 0.5% and 1% of assets annually; all charges must be agreed in writing before advice.

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

Neither answer is universal: platforms make DIY investing accessible, while advisers add value in the technical layers, tax wrappers, pension rules, estate planning, that compound at scale.

What qualifications should an IFA have?

Minimum Level 4, with Chartered and CFP designations marking advanced qualification. The FCA register lists individual advisers with their own reference numbers.

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

The route is firm complaint, then Financial Ombudsman Service: authorised firms must operate a complaints procedure and respond within eight weeks, with the Ombudsman able to award redress on eligible cases.
