Advisers across the globe say qualifications are far too low 

By Mark Battersby, 15 Feb 18

Nearly half of the advisers worldwide regard the level of financial qualifications in their region as far too low, with those in Asia far more concerned that any other, according to the results of a poll by International Adviser.

It is surprising that in Singapore, a financial centre with an all-powerful and highly regarded regulator, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, there does not seem to be an imperative to raise the minimum qualifications bar any higher.

It’s a no-brainer that well qualified individuals will deliver good advice, and that are not may well be lacking, regardless of their other qualities.

Click here to vote in our new poll (at the end of the latest ‘Your Region’ piece in the digital edition), which asks the question ‘Is enough being done to police malpractice by financial advisers in your region?’
