Which of the following Dealing Representatives has CORRECTLY fulfilled their suitability obligation?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Kiri has correctly fulfilled his suitability obligation by matching the risk-return profile of the fund with the personal circumstances of his client. The Conservative Bond Fund is a low-risk, low-return fund that pays regular interest income to investors. Myrtle's investment objective is "income", which means she wants to receive steady income from her investments and preserve her capital. Therefore, Kiri's recommendation is reasonably suitable for Myrtle in all the circumstances. (Canadian Investment Funds Course, Chapter 2, Section 2.3) References:
