Appointed representative

The Richard Goaman Practice does not hold FCA authorisation of their own, and acts under a principal firm, which is legally responsible for their regulated business.

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.
  • The Richard Goaman Practice (FRN 415109) is an AR of St. James's Place Wealth Management Plc (FRN 195351). When you use The Richard Goaman Practice's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from The Richard Goaman Practice, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
