Overview
In future, you may be practicing as a financial adviser. Even if you don’t end up working in the financial planning industry, you (or a member of your family) will likely need to engage with a professional financial adviser to give you feedback on your ideas and to help implement your financial plan. The purpose of this assessment is to assess your ability to identify some important best practices and skills when providing financial advice to clients. It is required that we assess this as part of the FASEA accreditation for this course. This assessment involves watching some videos of financial advisers interacting with clients and answering two questions. The videos are on Youtube, with the link provided under the ‘Adviser Engagement’ section of the course website. We have provided videos of two advisers (Jeremy and Tristan) but you are only required to watch the videos of one adviser. The questions are under the ‘Questions’ section of the Adviser Engagement Instructions document.
Question
