Frequently asked questions

• What is an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA), as opposed to a restricted financial adviser, and why should I choose one?

  An Independent Financial Adviser can consider products and solutions from across the wider market, rather than being limited to a particular panel, provider or range. Many people choose an IFA because they want broader choice and advice shaped around their circumstances.

• Will my adviser be local to me?

  Where possible, IFA Connect aims to introduce you to an adviser who is local or relevant to your needs. The priority is finding the right fit, not just the nearest postcode.

• Is there any obligation to work with an adviser after being matched?

  No. Your initial introduction is free and without obligation, so you can decide whether the adviser feels right for you before taking anything further.

• How do I know if I need a financial adviser?

  You may benefit from advice if you are making important financial decisions around retirement, pensions, investments, inheritance, tax efficiency or broader wealth planning.

• Can IFA Connect help me find an adviser with expertise in a specific area?

  Yes. IFA Connect helps connect you with advisers whose experience aligns with the area you need support with, from retirement planning and pensions to tax efficiency and investments.
