4. WHY SAIFAA? Guiding Principles
To promote the value of “independent advice” in a modern financial services market and the critical role of independent advisors in delivering this advice.
To be recognised as a “key voice of the independent advisor community” with a mandate to represent this community with the regulator and the media.

5. WHY SAIFAA? Membership Eligibility
Any financial advisor working for an independently owned Category I or Category II FSP
“independently owned” meaning free to structure its business for the benefit of its clients
selling any portion of the equity in the business to a product supplier will likely disqualify the advisor from being independent

6. MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to be a key voice of the Independent Advisor in South Africa particularly relating to regulatory, media and product issues. We will help develop a sustainable independent advice industry that is relevant to the divergent needs of investors in our country and will strive to ensure that our members act in a professional manner at all times, with due care for the interests of the investing public.

How to discuss the report with clients – positioning risk tolerance in the Risk Profiling Process
The level of risk that is appropriate having in regard to:
Risk Profile
Resources
Time Horizon(s)
Risk
Tolerance
Risk Capacity
Goal(s)
Discussions around risk profiling often run off the rails because participants use the terminology but assign different meanings to the same concepts
For me it is vital to first clarify the meaning of the different concepts and then how to unpack them
In my educational sessions with institutions and financial planners I unpack risk profiling as follows

30. THE SAIFAA & THE REGULATORS
We have engaged with the FSB on the “anticipated” RDR Investment Discussion Paper that will start to define the role and status of the Independent Financial Advisor in SA
We shared an in-depth SAIFAA “Independent Survey” from 32 of our Founder members covering:-
1) Is the categorisation of being an “Independent Financial Advisor” important to your practice and your future?
2) Is the categorisation of your practice being titled in the Post-RDR world as an “Independent Financial Advisor” going to be important to your clients?

31. THE SAIFAA & THE REGULATORS (Cont.)
3) The FSB suggested that the main test of independence should be the extent of product suppler influence! Do you agree?
4) What about Practices that own a share in a Category 2 Product Provider, DFM, Fund of Funds, Multi-Manager, White Label etc structure where “they can prove from a Treat Clients Fairly perspective” that these arrangements are in the best interests of their clients as a result of “lower total costs to clients on investments” in addition to the “improved and great professionally facilitated FNA, CRA, SAA and TAA processes and services” as a result of these shareholdings! Do you believe they should still be able to be categorised as independent?

32. THE SAIFAA & THE REGULATORS (Cont.)
John and I met with Caroline da Silva of the FSB in September and discussed the launching of SAIFAA & discussed:-
“what is independence”
black empowerment incorporation within SAIFAA (ASISA)
We shared our “Independent Member Survey” with the FSB and received a positive re-action; Thank you too for sharing the very interesting findings of your survey on the use of the term "independent" by intermediaries, and related questions.
We await the distribution of the RDR Investment Discussion Document so that we can add value from a SAIFAA perspective

33. THE SAIFAA MEMBERSHIP FORM
We are asking that all to complete a Membership Form before the end of March 2018
This Vital Form includes Basic Personal & Practice Information as well as the following:-
Practice Data including Number of Clients etc

At 110 Founder Members we will be Key IFA Association where we will be able to negotiate with the Industry & Service Providers as well as the Regulators to the benefit of all parties especially Clients
Assuming that the average AUM per Practice is say R100/R500 Million then the total value of SAIFAA would be R11/R55 Billion!
The Same applies to EB Funds with the ability to be heard by Trustees and Product Providers (EBIG)
