A Senior Investment Counsellor (IC) is a client facing staff whose role is to provide holistic investment advice on products and services offered by BNPP Wealth Management. Investment advice will be based on a portfolio approach to promote asset allocation and the importance of portfolio diversification. Where appropriate, tactical solutions will be incorporated into the portfolio to achieve client's financial objectives. 

ICs are in charge of the direct relationship with tagged clients who have been predetermined to be suitable for direct coverage given their risk profile and affinity to invest.

IC has direct client contact with clients for more timely advice and is accountable for the suitability and risk management of the portfolio. IC is responsible for efficient and timely order taking and execution. Products and services are offered to tagged clients in accordance with the client’s risk profile and respect the knowledge and experience of the client.

IC will conduct regular portfolio reviews (at least on an annual basis) to ensure client’s portfolio is constantly calibrated in accordance to client’s objective and risk profile. Advisory on asset allocation should be made in accordance with the CIO view.

Investment products recommended by IC must be on the recommended products lists published by WM IS which has gone through the Due Diligence process. Any exception is done on an unsolicited basis and as per client request.

IC will keep RMs informed of changes to clients’ portfolio such that there is a coordinated approach to client servicing. The IC team is a resource and partner to RMs/Team Heads/Market Heads to achieve business targets and to ensure the best allocation of resources, client assignment will be reviewed regularly.
