What IFA Financial Advisers Do

Independent financial advisers must consider a broad range of retail investment products, while restricted firms advise on a limited set. The RDR reforms ended commission on retail investment advice; remuneration is now a disclosed fee.

The protections around regulated advice, Ombudsman and FSCS, are the reason authorisation checks matter first.

How to Choose the Right IFA Financial Adviser

Ask about the firm's independence status, qualifications beyond Level 4, and experience with cases like yours. 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?
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?
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.
