Financial Standard Comments - All advice scaled in proposed ASIC guidance All advice is considered scaled to some extent, according to ASIC's consultation paper released yesterday on key elements of the FOFA reform package. https://www.financialstandard.com.au/feed/latest?story=21830874 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 13:34:24 +1000 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 13:34:24 +1000 en-AU Copyright 2026 Financial Standard 5 Comment by L Johnson (Adviser) Clear as mud really.

If a client doesn't want super advice and only insurance advice that is their choice (obviously a choice that needs to be documented). Surely an adviser can only satisfy a best interest obligation in an area where they have been engaged by a client.

When we see a solicitor about conveyancing are they compelled to provide advice on wills and how to divorce our wife at the same time? Have they failed their best interest duty if they haven't?

The whole argument seems absurd and wouldn't be an issue if there weren't the intra-fund advice carve out - cosy arrangement for some...
