The Code – issues for advisers (Part Three)
This is Part 3 of the commentary looking at the new Code of Conduct and issues, opportunities and challenges for adviser businesses. It is written by John Berry, a member of the Code Working Group (CWG), in his capacity as a commentator on NZ financial markets and as CEO of Pathfinder. This commentary therefore contains his personal opinions and is not written on behalf of the CWG.
I’d encourage you to read Parts One and Two of this commentary before this final instalment. This part is very short - covering thoughts on how to submit, as well as ethics and grandfathering/transitioning for advisers. First up, how to submit.
Submitting
Writing submissions takes time, which we’re all short of. You have a couple of options:
- use the submission format provided by the CWG and answer the questions provided (see link at the end of this article – you can choose which questions you want to answer, you are not obliged to answer them all) or
- you can simply write your ideas on specific issues (you do not have to use the CWG submission form nor reference the questions provided)
- Then send your submission by email to code.secretariat@mbie.govt.nz before 5pm on 30 April. That is only days away.
