  • 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.
  • Hodges Financial Services Ltd (FRN 685945) is an AR of Coffey Brooks Financial Services Ltd (FRN 300657). When you use Hodges Financial Services's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Hodges Financial Services, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
