Applicability of exclusion |
|
1 |
Introductions are purely for the purpose of the provision of independent advice – Introducer is completely indifferent to whether or not transactions take place after advice has been given. |
Exclusion not relevant as introducer is not arranging under article 25(2). |
2 |
Introduction is one-off or otherwise not part of pre-existing ongoing arrangements that envisage such introduction being made. |
Exclusion not relevant as introducer is not arranging under article 25(2). |
3 |
Introducer is not indifferent to whether or not transactions take place after advice has been given, but is indifferent to whether or not the transactions may involve a contract of insurance. |
Exclusion will be available provided the introduction was made with a view to the provision of independent advice on investments generally. |
4 |
Introducer is not indifferent to whether or not transactions take place after advice has been given (for example, because he expects to receive a percentage of the commission), and introductions specifically relate to contracts of insurance. |
Exclusion is not available. If introducer is an unauthorised person, he will need authorisation or exemption as an appointed representative. If introducer is an authorised person (such as an IFA introducing to a general insurance broker), he will need to vary his Part IV permission accordingly. If introducer is an appointed representative, he will need to ensure that his agreement covers making such arrangements. |
