Financial instruments investment advising is an investment service to which financial intermediaries registered with the CMVM can dedicate themselves.
This service can also be provided by other individuals authorized for this purpose by the CMVM, called investment consultants, and is then restricted to securities.
The investment adviser can also take orders from clients regarding securities and transmit them to financial intermediaries for execution.
However, they cannot be empowered to manage customer accounts with discretion.
Investment advisers (or acting as investment advisers in the form of a legal entity) may be any considered suitable persons that hold appropriate professional aptitude qualifications.
The investment adviser is compensated by the investors for the services provided, and issues a fee note with all the amounts delivered, with a precise indication of the services provided.
Investment consultants authorized by the CMVM may set up companies, or other legal entities, with the aim of exercising investment advisory activity on their own, ensuring transparency in their activity and in the relationship with their clients.
