What does this mean?
  • An introducer appointed representative can only pass your details to its principal firm. It cannot recommend products, give financial advice, or arrange deals on its own.
  • Mr James Carroll (FRN 492642) introduces customers to Covertriumph Limited (FRN 137997). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Mr James Carroll.
  • Example: if Mr James Carroll refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Mr James Carroll itself.
  • Before you proceed, confirm contact details match the official FCA register for both firms. Scammers sometimes clone legitimate AR names and FRNs but use fake phone numbers and websites.
