Questions to ask when seeking to engage a Financial Planner
Below are a few questions you should ask, prior to engaging a Financial Planner's services. The answers to these questions will assist in choosing a Financial Planner who has your best interest, as their No. 1 priority, and is not influenced by "head office bias".
It is prudent to remember the old adage... "You cannot serve two masters".
- How are you qualified and experienced?
- What professional associations are you a member of?
- Do you hold your own Australian Financial Services Licence, or are you an Authorised Representative of a Dealer Group (Licence Holder)?
- If you are an Authorised Representative, who owns your Dealer Group?
- Is your Dealer Group owned by a major bank, or life insurance organisation?
- Does the owner of your Dealer Group design and provide financial products for the use of financial planners attached to the group?
