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.
  • Studio Retail Trading Limited (FRN 993445) introduces customers to Frasers Group Financial Services Limited (FRN 311908). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Studio Retail Trading.
  • Example: if Studio Retail Trading refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Studio Retail Trading 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.
