Autus Data Services Ltd updates our CRM quarterly with changes & additions from the FCA Directory to ensure our data is up-to-date. This also provides us with a number of demographics we can use for communication targeting.

There are 8 key segments we use most frequently to target marketing content, four being directly regulated DAs and their four Appointed Rep cousins.

The range of activities they are regulated to advise on is shown in the definitions below:

DFMs/Stockbrokers can provide advice and manage money across a range of instruments including individual stocks - no client agreement required.

Wealth Managers can provide advice and manage money but only for packaged investments & Retirement products (but not individual stocks) and require a client Telephone/E-agreement.

Wealth/Investment Advisers provide advice but can’t manage money. These individuals will focus on Investment, Retirement & Protection products but won’t do mortgage business.

Holistic Financial Planners provide advice but cannot manage client money. These will provide advice on all products
