What is FEIFA
‘FEIFA’ stands for The Federation of European Independent Financial Advisers.
It is a non-profit trade association that, for the last decade, has represented, supported, and assisted English-speaking Financial Advisers (IFAs) operating throughout mainland Europe. While it exists to help IFAs, FEIFA aims to increase professional and technical advice standards for the ultimate benefit of consumers.
For us, our FEIFA membership is a valuable value-for-money resource that provides invaluable and highly relevant think-tank and brain-pool business and client-facing support.
FEIFA also extends crucial direct links to both European and UK regulators. It also offers authoritative information about continually changing rules and regulations that affect how we operate within the financial industry.
FEIFA pays particular attention to supporting and spreading good practices within the advice industry and, by the standards expected it of its members, engenders and enhances professionalism by increasing quality and expertise.
What this means for UAG clients
The benefits provided to FEIFA members help create significant advantages for our clients, including:
