  1. Discretionary
  2. Execution only
  3. Non-discretionary
  4. Robo-advice

How does a negative interest rate policy aim to boost lending?

  1. Interest is not charged on loans
  2. Consumers are paid to borrow money
  3. By discounting the interest rate charged on loans
  4. By penalising banks for holding surplus cash

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A negative interest rate policy is designed to penalise banks for holding excess reserves with the central bank by charging them interest. This encourages banks to lend more to businesses and consumers instead of holding onto idle cash, thereby stimulating economic activity.



A fiduciary relationship normally arises between:

  1. a husband and his wife
  2. a lawyer and his client
  3. a company and its suppliers
  4. a head of state and its government

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A fiduciary relationship typically exists between a lawyer and their client, where the lawyer is legally and ethically bound to act in the best interests of the client, with a duty of loyalty, care, and full disclosure.



Mortgage protection can assist when:

  1. property prices rise very quickly
  2. interest rates rise, increasing the cost of mortgage payments
  3. illness may prevent the main wage earner meeting mortgage payments
  4. property prices collapse

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Mortgage protection is designed to cover mortgage payments in situations where the borrower is unable to work due to illness, accident, or unemployment. This ensures that the mortgage remains serviced even if the main wage earner temporarily loses income.



Establishing sufficient details about a client in order to give advice is known as:

  1. assessing suitability and affordability
  2. determining attitude to risk
  3. giving information on status disclosure
  4. following know your customer procedures

Explanation:

Following Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures involves gathering sufficient details about a client - such as financial circumstances, investment goals, and risk tolerance - in order to ensure that any advice given is appropriate and compliant with regulatory requirements.
