FCA: Improving the Appointed Representatives regime through greater use of data

This publication includes data from the FCA's 2021 and 2022 data requests sent to principal firms and authorisation information collected from firms. It also outlines how the FCA is improving the Appointed Representatives’ regime (AR regime) and what it expects from firms.

As part of the FCA's rules, principals must now give more information about their ARs. This information drives the FCA's strategy and approach.
