Businesses operating outside the UK or in unregulated markets often struggle to market their investment products in the UK without FCA authorisation. The Section 21 gateway seeks to address issues around financial promotions by ensuring that only firms that are assessed as being competent and having expertise in the products and services can approve related financial promotions for unauthorised firms.
WealthKernel is a Section 21 approver with expertise in custody and investments in the UK, also leaning on its expertise as an AR Principal. It typically accepts high-quality firms looking to promote their investment services in the UK in a fully compliant way.
Sign the legals, submit your financial promotion, and, subject to us determining that it meets the relevant regulatory standards, receive approval. Once approved, our team will check that the financial promotions are used precisely as agreed. We ensure that promotions are fair, clear and not misleading and do not influence consumers to make poor financial decisions.
