Code of Conduct Adhere to the specific Codes of Conduct
When a client is advised to replace one financial product with another, what must the provider disclose before the transaction is concluded?
RE5 practice question with a worked answer. This is one of hundreds of FSCA RE5 questions in the RegulatoryExams question bank.
- a) Both the actual and the potential financial implications, costs and consequences of the replacement.Correct
- b) Only the actual costs already incurred, since future costs are too uncertain to mention.
- c) Only the potential future costs, since past costs are no longer relevant.
- d) Neither, provided the client signs a waiver acknowledging the replacement.
Why this is the answer
On a replacement the Code requires disclosure of the actual AND potential financial implications, costs and consequences, so the client can make an informed comparison. Disclosing only one side, or relying on a waiver, does not satisfy the duty.
