What IFA Financial Advisers Do

IFAs advise across pensions, investments and retirement planning, with independence status disclosed in the firm's documents. The RDR reforms ended commission on retail investment advice; remuneration is now a disclosed fee.

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

How to Choose the Right IFA Financial Adviser

For pension transfers above the statutory threshold, confirm the firm holds the specific transfer permissions. Clarify what happens between reviews: access, ad-hoc queries and whether they carry extra charges.

Ask for the total cost of ownership: adviser charge, platform fee and fund charges combined.

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?

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?

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.
