Ok I can understand the need if there is something different on offer and the client was interested in it. Thanks.0 -

I find most are unhappy with restricted advisers/tied sales reps like yourself.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
Why would anyone want to be a Restricted Advisor if they can become a proper Independent Advisor?0

Tell me, are you like 1000s of restricted advisers that try to make out they are better than IFAs because they restrict choice?I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).

And I have no restriction on my PI cover.
You also playing a bit silly with the structured products thing. For those IFAs that did limit certain areas and their PI cover had restrictions as such will require those restrictions to be gone by the first renewal.I don't think I do , just certainly no worse
So, why do you make out that you are so much better than the 27,000 IFAs out there?I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).

Where have I said that ? I just said no worse didn't I . Where I'm much better is the planning as evidenced by the iso 22222 accreditation
Where you have said it? How about the sentence you made after denying it. You have just said you are better than 27,000 advisers.
As the CII say on their website about ISO 22222: "The 'at work' assessment provides an alternative to study-based examination for advisers aspiring to a higher standard of professionalism beyond current regulatory requirements". An alternative. One of many. I am not one to knock it as it is perfectly fine level 4 accreditation. However, having that does not automatically make you better than 27,000 othersI am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).

With all due respect, you know nothing about how well I (as an example, I'm not suggesting you targeted me personally) plan for my clients. How on earth can you claim to be "much better" just because you have gone through an assessment?I am a Chartered Financial Planner

ISO 22222 is about either checking that your firm looks after clients correctly or marketing. If you are already certain that you look after clients correctly, then it's only about marketing.
I therefore still don't see why I would pay for such a qualification.I am a Chartered Financial Planner
