Regulations and General Guidelines Regarding Financial Advice to Consumers

Finansinspektionen imposes stricter competence requirements and written advice obligations on undertakings providing financial advice for shares, CIU units, or pension insurances. Advisors must tailor their knowledge to the complexity of the investment and the customer's needs, with proficiency verified by independent testing. The regulations exclude AIF managers and update insurance intermediary rules following the Insurance Distribution Act, with amendments entering into force on 1 August 2018.
