FundsAtWork Acceptance of quotation and installation documentation — March 2013 Page 5 of 15 Advisory body details (continued) The Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act No. 37 of 2003 (FAIS) The main objectives of the FAIS Act are as follows: • to create a regulatory framework which ensures the protection of the consumer; • to make sure that consumers are given sufficient information to enable them to make informed decisions; • to regulate the selling of financial products and the advice-giving activities of financial services providers and their representatives. The legislation applies to any person (both natural and legal) that falls within the definition of a financial services provider or a representative who gives advice or provides an intermediary service in respect of a wide range of financial products to members of the public. This includes financial products such as securities, participation in collective investment schemes (eg unit trusts), insurance contracts, and benefits provided by pension funds and medical schemes as well as investments in foreign currency and deposits. Investment choices under FundsAtWork 1. When a scheme is first installed the advisory body is requested to choose the default product option or options where applicable (ie Founder, Narrator, Provider and Entrepreneur) and the investment portfolio or portfolios within these product options, as they know the profile of the employees. This choice by the advisory body does not constitute advice as it is made outside the fund. It is advisable that the advisory body in making this choice work with the broker to the scheme and a written record of advice is provided by the broker. The record of advice must include a brief summary of the information and material the advice was based on, the products that were considered and the products recommended, with an explanation of why the products selected satisfy the identified needs and objectives. 2. Under the FundsAtWork umbrella funds each member may then decide to stay in the default product option or change the product option and / or the investment portfolio/s. 3. If the advisory body following the installation of the scheme requests a bulk switch, ie an investment switch for the whole membership, they must seek advice from the broker and must insist on a written record of advice to be provided by the broker. 4. If an individual member approaches a member of the advisory body and asks for advice on which portfolio to invest in or whether they will have enough money to retire on, the advisory body member should not provide any advice on these matters and should refer the member to the broker. If the advisory body member does provide the member with advice then they can be sued in their personal capacity. 5. The Momentum Multi-Manager Smooth Growth Fund Global is the trustee choice portfolio for the Founder, Provider and Entrepreneur product options. The portfolio does not offer a full capital guarantee; a market value adjustment might apply on non-benefit payments like full or partial terminations and investment switches. Employers on the Founder, Provider or Entrepreneur product option and their employees should be made aware of the market value adjustment before the scheme is installed and afterwards if they choose to invest in this portfolio. The advisory body and members who prefer not to invest in a portfolio with a market value adjustment should not select the Founder product option and on the Provider and Entrepreneur product options they can elect to invest in another portfolio.
