HICKORY ST W STATE ST SPR UCE ST HAW THO RN ST HAZEL ST FIR ST P. 519-886-1550 TTY. 1-866-786-3941 waterloo.ca Individual financial advisers and the firms where they work proudly commu- nicate their service as "holistic advice." That makes sense because certain things in life, including personal financ- es, should be done thoroughly. However, nothing is perfect. At a clos- er look, we can therefore ask a fundamen- tal question: are the financial services for investors really as "holistic" as they seem? Only 7 per cent of Canadian investors were actually receiving "holistic" advice, according to the JD Power 2022 Canada Full-Service Investor Satisfaction Study, which was released in May and based on the response of 4,500 Canadians. The tally included high net worth clients. The report outlines the J.D. Power's criteria for comprehensive advice. It also indicated that 40 per cent thought their adviser was providing com- pressive advice. The seven per cent is surprising low. For some reason, there is an alarming dis- connect between the services offered and the satisfaction rate of those clients. Investor client's satisfaction with full- service firms was fairly good. Two thirds of investors indicated they were satisfied with the service received. The survey results suggest investors pay closer attention to the service they re- ceive. That leaves one question: Are you get- ting adequate financial service? Peter Watson is registered with Aligned Capital Partners Inc. (ACPI) to provide investment advice.
