What the Financial Adviser is expected to do

Q7: What can I expect a FA representative to do when he recommends an investment product to me?

A: A FA representative must take all reasonable steps to:
1. Determine your investment objectives, risk tolerance, financial situation and investment experience;
2. Ensure that the product he recommends is suitable for you, taking into account the information you gave; and
3. Explain to you why the product he is recommending is suitable for you.

You should provide complete and accurate information to ensure that the FA representative is able to recommend a suitable product for you.
