Discretionary Investment Services – Is your agreement appropriate?

If you have signed an intermediary agreement with a DIM, based on the agent as client rule, but have not read and understood the terms and checked your client agreements meet with the requirements, you may have inadvertently left yourself vulnerable to future claims.

Interactive Guide – Agent as Client, what you need to know

In association with subject matter experts Diminimis we have created an interactive guide that answers all of the ‘infrequently asked questions’ on the topics. The guide will help you:

• Assess the suitability of your existing agreements
• Understand the regulatory requirements for acting as Agent as Client
• Understand the potential consequences for you and your clients
• Consider alternative bases for agreement
• There is also a case study showing one particular firm has implemented essential changes to their DIM arrangements

PFS funded private & confidential consultations

If, after reading the guide, you are still unsure whether your existing agreements are suitable you can register for one of a limited number of PFS funded telephone consultations with subject matter expert David Gurr. A reduced rate follow-up consultation has also been negotiated should you feel this is required following the call.
