Financial advisers as either ‘independent’, or ‘restricted’. FCA rules set out that a firm describing itself as independent must: 'assess a sufficient range of relevant products available on the market which must be sufficiently diverse with regard to their type; and issuers or product providers, to ensure that the client’s investment objectives can be suitably met; and not be limited to relevant products issued or provided by the firm itself or by entities having close links with the firm; or other entities with which the firm has such close legal or economic relationships, including contractual relationships, as to present a risk of impairing the independent basis of the advice provided.'
