Choosing Products

Some Relationship Managers prefer to sell structured products (Principal Protected) or Endowment Policies since the returns and risks are somewhat predictable. The flipside is the banker has diminishing value to clients over time, as there is little expertise involved. The Relationship Manager’s knowledge stagnates, and will start losing touch with the financial market.

Some Relationship Managers had started in Unit Trust, but when the market plunge together with the recommended investments, they start getting cold feet. Some had dabbled in foreign currencies or leveraged trading, and were got caught in similar fashion.
