  • 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.
  • Carlton Financial Solutions (FRN 221166) is an AR of Quilter Financial Services Limited (FRN 440703). When you use Carlton Financial Solutions's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
