The Financial Advisor Engagement Letter is a crucial document used in the Malaysian financial services industry to formalize the relationship between licensed financial advisors and their clients. This document is required when a financial advisor begins providing professional advisory services to clients in Malaysia, whether individuals or corporations. The letter must comply with the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007 and various Securities Commission Malaysia guidelines. It typically includes detailed service descriptions, fee structures, regulatory disclosures, and compliance requirements specific to the Malaysian jurisdiction. The engagement letter serves as both a regulatory compliance document and a commercial agreement, protecting both the advisor and client while ensuring transparency in the provision of financial advisory services.
