What does the FSG allow clients to assess?

The Financial Services Guide (FSG) is designed to provide clients with important information about the financial services offered by a licensee. One of its primary functions is to allow clients to determine whether they want to engage with or use the financial services provided. This includes details about the services available, any potential conflicts of interest, fees and charges involved, and the licensee's responsibilities. By offering this transparency, the FSG helps clients make informed decisions about whether to proceed with a financial service or product.

The FSG's focus on client empowerment and informed decision-making is pivotal in the financial services industry, ensuring that consumers can choose services that best meet their needs and understanding the implications of those choices.
