1.  Independent Financial Adviser Promotion

 

IFA Promotion was established in 1989 to promote the value and accessibility of independent financial advice to the public.  It represents over 10,000 firms of independent financial advisers across the UK and is sponsored by 30 leading financial institutions. In 2003, over 330,000 consumers and businesses used IFA Promotion to find local independent financial advice.

 

IFA Promotion believes Independent financial advice should be:

 

        Affordable.  The option to take independent financial advice should be available, by right, to all - not just the wealthiest in society.

 

        Convenient.  IFAs should be available in the location of the consumers choice, wherever they live in the UK.

 

        Transparent.  It must be clearly transparent to consumers who is able to offer independent financial advice and who is not.
