This subscription is ideal for AFSL holders that provide services to retail clients. Any client who does not meet the wholesale client definitions in the Corporations Act and Corporations Regulations 2001 is considered to be a retail client. The law provides greater protection to retail clients, so financial service providers need to be aware of the additional obligations that apply when dealing with retail clients.
To confirm that your clients do not meet the wholesale client tests, view our Retail V Wholesale page here. Examples of entities that may benefit from this subscription include: Financial Planners and Retail OTC Derivative Issuers. If you are unsure which subscription is best suited to your business, please contact us.
