Why Choose an Independent Financial Adviser?
Not all financial advisers are the same. In the UK, advisers are either independent or restricted – and the difference matters.
Restricted advisers are limited to recommending products from a select range of providers, or a limited set of product types. Independent financial advisers (IFAs), by contrast, can consider the whole of the market and must give unbiased, unrestricted advice.
NorthStar is fiercely independent and wholly impartial. We have no ties to any product provider, our financial planners have no sales targets, and we never earn commission for recommending one product over another. Our independence means we have the freedom to explore the entire market and recommend what’s genuinely best for you, every time.
When comparing financial advisers in Southampton, it’s always worth asking whether the firm is independent or restricted. You can verify any firm’s status and permissions on the Financial Services Register – our FCA reference is 716709.
Why Chartered Matters
Chartered Financial Planner status is widely regarded as the gold standard qualification in UK financial planning, awarded by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) to advisers who demonstrate the highest levels of technical knowledge, professional experience and ethical standards. At NorthStar, we only employ advisers who have obtained Chartered Financial Planner status, so whoever you work with, you’re getting advice of the very highest standard.
Relatively few advisers in the Southampton area hold Chartered status, so if quality of advice matters to you, it’s one of the simplest filters to apply when choosing a financial adviser.
