If you want to know as much as your financial adviser, why not do some research on their website?

Financial advisers seeking information on the growing number of regulations surrounding the life industry can now access an Internet information resource on the subject at www.assurelink.ie.

The Regulation Resource is an easy reference site which gives details of legislative provisions relating to disclosure, money laundering and the Investor Compensation Act, among other subjects.

A definitions database explaining various technical terms such as the definition of investment instruments also forms part of the resource.
