We welcome FCA making its position clear on funding from Providers as we believe this has the capacity to help create a more level playing field in the market between both Providers and Intermediaries.
However, we believe that the examples of good and bad practices are likely to lead to a reduction in providers contributing to the advancement and education of advisors and will ultimately lead to an increase in costs to the consumer.
COVID-19 (Coronavirus) update from Alexander House - SKYPE is the safest way to receive financial advice
We understand the uncertainty and concern causing you to re-evaluate how you interact with your own Financial Adviser as a result of the COVID-19 situation. At Alexander House, we have won awards based on our innovative way of communicating with Clients and Staff alike. From Glasgow to Bournemouth we have fully FCA regulated and FOS protected professional Financial Advisers nationwide who routinely conduct ‘virtual’ meetings via Skype or Zoom - so you can discuss any new or existing plans safe in the knowledge that all channels are fully encrypted, secure and safe so not to impact on the measures you are taking to protect everyone around you. We can even help you setup Skype on your laptop, tablet or Smart Phone. We are continually monitoring the situation, including travel restrictions and any market updates that may impact our clients and we will be in touch accordingly. Please let the team know if you wish to ‘meet’ your adviser via Skype for Business or Zoom and we will get a meeting set up. Please email admin@alexanderhousefs.co.uk or telephone 0800 816 1811
