The Monetary Authority of Singapore issued these guidelines to clarify the definition of financial advisory services under the Financial Advisers Act. The document establishes a two-stage test to determine if an activity constitutes regulated advice, focusing on whether it expresses an opinion on investment products and if the provider is carrying on a business. It further specifies exemptions for passive distribution of research reports and generic portfolio allocation advice that does not target specific investment products.
