Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

What should come first in a conversation with a new client?

 

Needs come first, then the product that fits them.

Lesson 1, Why needs come before products, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

A client asks about drawdown. Which statement is accurate?

 

Drawdown keeps the money invested, so its value and the income it supports can change.

Lesson 3, Pensions, annuities and retirement income, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

Why should a client give complete answers to underwriting questions?

 

Honest and complete answers protect the client at the time of a claim.

Lesson 4, Grey areas: fit, disclosure and underwriting, teaches this. See the outline
