Do you have the knowledge and skills to provide quality advice on investments?
Do you want to understand and develop appropriate strategies? For example, stock selection and analysis, portfolio construction using investments, strategies in the use of derivatives to reduce risk or produce income or provide leverage, and when and how to use instalment warrants in superannuation funds.
The more you know about the types of products and the strategies behind their use the better you can help your clients take advantage of them. This is especially relevant in an advisory environment where a fee-for-service business model is driving the need to explore new investment options while effectively managing associated risks.
The ALPA program focuses on the range of ASX products including equities, interest rate securities, managed investments, warrants and options.
