Financial Adviser Accreditations & Regulations When you’re managing your finances from overseas, particularly if you have properties, retirement funds or investments in the UK, it is essential to make sure you’re working with a properly regulated adviser. Never be shy about asking which accreditations or regulatory bodies your financial adviser is registered with. This is merely conducting your due diligence and making sure you are confident to pay for advice and services from this adviser. Any reputable adviser will be registered with and be bound by the regulations of the regulatory body in their particular jurisdiction at a minimum, and may possibly have regulatory permission that allows them to operate farther afield. Different countries have different regulatory bodies, so for expats, it is well worth knowing which organizations oversee your country of residence. The supervisory authorities set out standards for how fees can be structured, how reporting must be carried out, and guidelines for members to adhere to.
