Who can provide financial advice?

When you receive personal financial advice on superannuation, insurance, shares, managed funds as well as many banking products (excluding loans and buying real estate) require the adviser to hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL), or be an authorised representative of the licencee.
