  • OCEAN SPECIAL RISKS LIMITED (FRN 1005500) is an AR of Bluefriars Brokers Limited (FRN 604987). When you use OCEAN SPECIAL RISKS's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from OCEAN SPECIAL RISKS, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
