Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
Morgan Clark are proud to be authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which is the UK’s financial services regulator. The FCA’s role is to ensure that financial markets work well for individuals, businesses, and the wider economy.
What Does FCA Regulation Mean for You?
As an FCA-regulated firm, Morgan Clark operates to the highest standards of conduct and follows strict rules designed to protect consumers:
1. Your money is protected
Under FCA regulatory frameworks, we adhere to rigorous standards regarding the management of our clients’ insurance claims. This oversight ensures your financial interests are safeguarded through every phase of the process, providing robust security and peace of mind.
2. You are treated fairly
We operate under the FCA’s “Treating Customers Fairly” principle. With these rules in place, you can trust that you will never be misled, taken advantage of, or subjected to unfair treatment. We are committed to transparent, ethical practices in all our dealings with you.
3. Verified accountability
Only firms authorised and regulated by the FCA can legally manage insurance claims on behalf of the public. This mandate guarantees that our processes meet the highest industry benchmarks for compliance, dependability, and professional ethics.

What’s the difference between a Loss Assessor and a Loss Adjuster?
-
Loss Assessors and Loss Adjusters are both insurance claim professionals, but there is one key difference in their role during the insurance claim process; a Loss Assessor is appointed by and works exclusively for the policyholder, while a Loss Adjuster is appointed and paid by the insurance company. Loss Adjusters are expected to remain independent. Read more about the difference between Loss Assessors and Loss Adjusters here.
-
Doesn’t my insurance company manage my claim?
-
While many insurance companies will support you in the initial weeks of your claim, their only responsibility is to ensure costs are covered to restore your property and replace damaged contents, stock, machinery etc. (if applicable). As your claim progresses, you will be left with the most stressful and time consuming day-to-day elements to organise and oversee alone if you do not appoint a Loss Assessor.
