On 7 May 2025, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published data on the appointed representatives (AR) population and financial services activity.
The FCA explains that it is focused on strengthening principal firm oversight of ARs and that its commitment to being a smarter data-led regulator shapes the work it does. It collects data on principal firms and ARs through forms and data submissions from ARs and other data provided by firms, and it uses that data to focus its resources on the highest risk principals and their ARs.
The published data includes:
- ARs population data.
- ARs’ financial services activity.
