    • The ongoing European crisis

    • Japanese property sector

    • Increasing the GST rate in Australia

    Correct Answer
    A. The ongoing European crisis
    Explanation
    One of the major themes for markets during 2012 was the ongoing European crisis. This crisis refers to the economic and financial difficulties faced by several European countries, particularly those in the Eurozone, during that time. The crisis had a significant impact on global markets, causing uncertainty and volatility. It affected various aspects of the economy, including trade, investment, and consumer confidence. Therefore, it was a major theme that investors and market participants closely monitored and reacted to during 2012.

    Section: Effectively Competing Against Industry Funds by Chris Kirby Question: A big advantage of retail insurance within a non industry fund is that it allows for CPI

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Retail insurance within a non-industry fund allows for CPI, which stands for Consumer Price Index. This means that the insurance coverage can be adjusted to account for inflation and the rising cost of living. This is a big advantage as it ensures that the coverage remains relevant and adequate over time.

    Section: Where is the Australian market Heading by VanEyk Question: Australian Banks are no longer reliant on foreign funding?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Australian banks are still reliant on foreign funding. This means that they rely on borrowing money from overseas sources to fund their operations and lending activities. Foreign funding provides a significant portion of the capital that Australian banks need to function effectively. Without this foreign funding, Australian banks would face challenges in meeting the demand for loans and other financial services. Therefore, the statement that Australian banks are no longer reliant on foreign funding is false.

Conflicted remuneration refers to any type of benefit, monetary or non-monetary, that could influence the advice given by a financial adviser.

    Section: Social Media – Where to now? by TAL Question: There are no disadvantages to using twitter to promote your business?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The answer is false because there are indeed disadvantages to using Twitter to promote your business. One disadvantage is that the character limit on tweets can make it challenging to convey detailed information about your products or services. Additionally, negative feedback or criticism can quickly spread on Twitter, potentially damaging your business's reputation. Another disadvantage is the fast-paced nature of the platform, which can make it difficult to stand out among the constant stream of tweets. Finally, Twitter's algorithm changes frequently, making it harder to reach and engage with your target audience consistently.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because recommending a client to purchase property without an SOA (Statement of Advice) would be considered a breach of professional and ethical standards. An SOA is a crucial document that outlines the advice given to a client, including the reasoning behind the recommendation, risks involved, and potential alternatives. It ensures transparency and accountability in the financial advice process. Therefore, it is not appropriate to recommend a client to purchase property without an SOA.

This means that employees are only allowed to use social media platforms for work-related purposes and not for personal use.
