What does this mean?
  • An appointed representative (AR) can carry out regulated financial services, but is not directly authorised by the FCA. A principal firm holds the authorisation and is legally responsible for the AR's conduct.
  • Ardent Global Risks Limited (FRN 1011360) is an AR of Independent Broking Solutions Limited (FRN 312026). When you use Ardent Global Risks's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Ardent Global Risks, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
