LEGAL COMPLIANCE: DISCLOSURE NOTICE

"Safeguarding all that you have achieved"

The FAIS Act aims to protect the public by prescribing how financial services, i.e. advice and intermediary services, should be rendered. Advisors must operate under an authorized financial services provider (FSP) license in order to operate lawfully. The Act also lays down specific duties that relate to FSPs including the obligation to disclose specific information about the product provider, the intermediary and the financial service (the product).


The FAIS Act, together with the principles of Treating Customers Fairly (TCF), also requires advisors to carefully consider which product is suitable for their client and to provide services in an honest and fair way by exercising due skill, care and diligence.
