Your adviser will work with you to define your financial goals and objectives which are important to you and gather relevant personal information required in order to provide you with appropriate advice. The relevant information will generally be collected within the Client Data Form.
Where your goals relate to investment advice either within superannuation or outside superannuation, your adviser will work with you to define your level of risk tolerance. The risk profile questionnaire may be used to assist in determining your level of risk tolerance.
