A financial adviser is a person that advises another on the most favourable strategy or method of investing his/her funds, bearing in mind age, finances, responsibilities, health, etc. A financial adviser can be independent, that is he/she will suggest the most favourable products from any source, or be tied to a financial institution, bank, insurance company, etc., and only recommend their products. That person must be licensed by the appropriate regulatory organisation. To give advice without the necessary authority is a criminal offence. [Klein, Gerald. Dictionary of Banking. Pitman Publishing, 1995]. 3, record 2, English, - financial%20advisor
