This must be a sick joke! Qualified implies they are qualified no matter how you twist the word. Unregistered and unqualified would make it a bit less confusing for the consumer but still illegal. I do not know about you but if I want a qualified person giving me advice I expect them to be qualified. Try this on any other profession or trade and it would be chucked out!Rather would be impossible. Financial Planner/adviser is enshrined in law and means you are on the FAR and qualified. Please stop this rubbish and protect our profession.
