Financial adviser

An individual or firm that offers advice on investments and other financial products, either on a commission basis or for a flat fee. The current system, known as polarisation, allows two distinct types: Independent financial advisers (IFAs) who base their recommendations on all products in the particular market, and those tied to the products of a single company. This system of advice is currently under review.
