Independent Financial Advice

Published / Last Updated on 17/05/2021

Independent Financial Advice:

There are three types of financial advice

  • Independent Financial Advice - This is where a totally unbiased, whole of market financial adviser reviews your affairs and offers advice across the widest area of your money.  They are not tied, linked or restricted to one company, products or services but can offer you are broader solution covering all firms and products.  The adviser must quote you a fee for doing the work.  This can usually be paid for directly as a fee or via a deduction from your policy or investment charges.
  • Restricted Financial Advice - This is where a financial adviser may be restricted in what financial advice they offer you.  This may be because they are restricted by the number of companies or products that they recommend.  For example.  they may be an adviser for just one insurance company or a limited range of insurance companies.  Alternatively, they may be restricted advisers because they are not qualified or authorised to give advice on all areas of the financial market.  A restricted adviser must also quote you a fee for giving advice.  The fee can again be paid directly by you or via a deduction from policy of investment charges.
  • Non Advised Financial Selling - The financial adviser is not a financial adviser.  They do not offer or give advice.  This is very common for many banks and insurance companies and online investment companies or comparison websites.  No financial advice is given or deemed to be given.  In many cases, you answer a series of questions and then a few product options are given to you.  You choose which policy, mortgage or pension you want.  No advice is given.  No liability is accepted for you choosing the right or wrong product.  No advise sales can still be paid full commission yet you have had no advice.  You carry the risk yet you have paid full commission charges.  Is it any wonder, given the amount of complaints Banks are receiving that they have adopted this "no advice" model.
