- What is suitability assessment? (Only applicable to DBS Treasures customers with a Wealth Management Account)
- Suitability assessment is a process matching the investment product with the client’s personal circumstances and risk tolerance.
DBS conducts suitability assessments before an investment transaction, based on the customer’s risk tolerance level, investment objectives, investment period, investment experience, and asset concentration.
Should there be any mismatch in the suitability assessment (e.g. product risk rating is higher than customer’s risk tolerance level), a customer may be required to conduct the investment transaction with his/her Relationship Manager to ensure the customer clearly understands the product features and risks.
