As the main controller of the Appointed Representative firm with Connect IFA Ltd, I am writing to let you know we now need you to complete the below form to provide us with the additional data we require for the FCA Section 165 data request.
This information is needed no later than the 31st of January 2023
You may recall my previous emails advising you that the FCA would be sending this data request to all networks, asking for information about all our Appointed Representatives. The data relates to each firm, not individual adviser, which is why we have sent the form to you to complete on behalf of the company.
We already hold some of the information they are asking for, such as your complaints data and the advice permissions you have with us. However, they are also requesting other information that we have not routinely collected in the past. Please note going forward that this will be an annual request at the same time each year, and completion of this data is a compulsory FCA requirement to maintain your appointed representative status.
