01Canadian investment conduct: discover, assess, explain and maintain
Professional investment conduct requires connecting a client's circumstances with the advice, product and service actually provided. Begin by identifying the client, mandate, goals, horizon and financial situation. A signed form is evidence of a process, not proof that every material issue was understood or that an unsuitable recommendation becomes appropriate. Integrity requires accurate records even when a sale or timetable creates pressure to simplify them.
