•Have choice

CRM I / CRM II – Fee Disclosure

•Greater clarity for clients • Increased client / advisor trust

Consider a negotiated fee with client – with a cap?

Embedded Comp provides affordable access to adviceCanadians working with advisors earn 3 times more 

Unbundling of fees will increase cost of advice

Huge confusion in terminology between fee for service and fee only

If we follow regulatory trends abroad and start removing choice from the system, clients will not be 

able to get the advice that they need. 

Regulators need to listen to clients and advisors

Question

•How can fees be lowered for consumers so Canadians don’t pay the highest fees in the world?

Page 7: Symposium 2013 segment 1 part 1 panel discussion rev

Question

•You have a comprehensive fee discussion with your client, do you believe other advisors provide that comprehensive review? Is a lot of the problem due to a reluctance by advisors to discuss fees frankly with their clients?

Question

•There was no requirement to provide any ongoing advice while receiving a trailing commission. What advice do consumers get if they have $10,000 in mutual funds with an advisor slash dealer?

Question

•The greatest impetus for change is a free, competitive market. Do you believe clients have a right to choose from a diverse market, advisors have a right to offer their services to a free market and product manufacturers have a right to compete on a free market?
