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.
  • Styne Limited (FRN 946193) introduces customers to SME HCI Limited (FRN 626422). Any regulated advice or arranging is done by the principal, not Styne.
  • Example: if Styne refers you to a financial adviser, the advice should come from the principal firm, not from Styne itself.
