The FCA has issued a warning over an unauthorised firm which claims to carry out ‘Financial Planning’.

The FCA is to launch a new platform to replace Gabriel, it’s main tool for collecting data from financial adviser firms.

The High Court has consented to an order by which UCIS firms and directors will pay funds to the FCA for distribution to investors.
