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.
  • Derby Financial Solutions Limited (FRN 600022) is an AR of SOMERBY FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS LIMITED (FRN 303068). When you use Derby Financial Solutions's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Derby Financial Solutions, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
