What IFA Financial Advisers Do

A financial adviser's independent or restricted status determines the breadth of products considered, and must be disclosed. The RDR reforms ended commission on retail investment advice; remuneration is now a disclosed fee.

Clients of authorised firms have two safety nets, the Ombudsman and the FSCS, neither of which covers unauthorised advice.

How to Choose the Right IFA Financial Adviser

Chartered or certified status signals qualification beyond the regulatory minimum and is worth asking about. A defined ongoing service, documented and delivered, is what separates advice firms from asset gatherers.

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?
Independence has a regulatory definition: the firm must consider a sufficiently broad range of retail investment products across the market. Restricted firms advise from a narrower set, and the status must be disclosed before advice.
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?
You can absolutely self-manage; the advice case strengthens as affairs grow complex, where portfolio construction, tax and inheritance interact and errors get expensive.
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?
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.
