How to write a basic suitability report recommending the bed and ISA of a client’s existing investment
Ed Evans
Given the time of year it seemed appropriate in this month’s user tip to look at how you can quickly (in less than 10 mins!) and effectively write a suitability report confirming the recommendation for the bed and ISA of a client’s existing investment (most likely a GIA or collective investment) within Genovo.
A bed and ISA can be covered in a variety of Report Types in Genovo including the Suitability Report or the Review Report 2.0. However, if this is literally all you’re recommending then selecting the Top-up / Bed and ISA report type will streamline the report writing process and result in a more concise and reader-friendly report covering all of the pertinent points.
