Responsible principal firm

T.R.S. Independent Financial Advisers Reference number: 140448 Authorised View firm →
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.
  • Taurus Investor Services Ltd (FRN 407847) is an AR of T.R.S. Independent Financial Advisers (FRN 140448). When you use Taurus Investor Services's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Taurus Investor Services, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
  • 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.
