This week one of our best read stories on Financial Planning Today website was about a firm based in the United Arab Emirates reportedly targeting UK clients by offering a Financial Planning / wealth management-style service.

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

The FCA has revealed there were 1,750 whistleblowing allegations in its Annual Report and Accounts, which were published today.

The FCA has issued a warning about a ‘Financial Planning’ and wealth advisory firm it believes is based overseas but providing financial services or products in the UK without authorisation.
