Investment Advice
Financial Services Network Ltd (FSN) is a regulated company that provides a Network that offers Investment Portfolio Advice to clients, introduced by Independent Financial Advisers (IFA’s) who are members of that Network.
FSN refers to these IFA’s as Business Partners and they are neither employees nor agents of FSN. Each member acts independently as a self-employed Business Partner, running their own IFA practice underneath the regulatory and compliance oversight of FSN.
Many Private clients have neither the time nor experience to manage their own funds and contract the important day-to-day decision-making to an appropriately licensed fund management group.
FSN does not manage your money but we have relationships with many of the leading fund management groups where we have identified some of the most experienced investment managers who can provide you with either risk graded Discretionary Fund Management (DFM) or a Managed Portfolio Service (MPS), if you prefer not to manage your own investments.
A DFM is a unitised multi-asset fund offered by a fund management group, and will include individual shares, funds and fixed interest securities. There are a wide variety of risk graded funds available from different fund management groups and their performance can be easily compared.
FSN prefers a more tailored Managed Portfolio Service approach whereby clients’ needs and attitude to risk are analysed by their network Business Partners who can then recommend a specific Model Portfolio offered by one of the leading fund management groups whom FSN have reviewed and selected.
