ASIC shows hand on best interest, scaled advice

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission has released consultation papers containing proposed guidance for two aspects of the Future of Financial Advice (FoFA) reforms – scaled advice and the best interests duty.

“These measures aim to improve the standard of adviser conduct and improve engagement by retail clients with advisers and advice.”
