  • 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.
  • JAMES COCKBURN LIMITED (FRN 981498) is an AR of Golden Charter Limited (FRN 965279). When you use JAMES COCKBURN's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from JAMES COCKBURN, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
