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.
  • Peter Hoare & Company (Financial Services) Limited (FRN 1001249) is an AR of Lyncombe Consultants Limited (FRN 618025). When you use Peter Hoare & Company (Financial Services)'s services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Peter Hoare & Company (Financial Services), complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
