  • AMERICAN GOLF (TRADING) LIMITED (FRN 1004916) is an AR of Rubber Ring Financial Services Limited (FRN 912930). When you use AMERICAN GOLF (TRADING)'s services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from AMERICAN GOLF (TRADING), complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
