🎩 Can a FCA-regulated financial advice firm offer a stand-alone financial planning service that is not FCA-regulated? Absolutely, and here’s a brief on navigating these dual roles effectively:
Regulatory Clarity: The FCA requires distinct operational divisions, often referred to as "Chinese walls," to ensure compliance and independence of different service offerings.
Dual Hatting: Firms can operate both regulated financial advice and non-regulated financial planning under one roof.
Client Benefits: This approach provides clients comprehensive support, leveraging regulated and non-regulated services according to their needs.
Would you consider implementing this model in your firm? How do you see the separation of these services benefiting your strategy and client satisfaction?
