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.
  • Ulliott Patten Financial Planning Limited (FRN 1047987) is an AR of ValidPath Limited (FRN 197107). When you use Ulliott Patten Financial Planning's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Ulliott Patten Financial Planning, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
