What is the difference between general financial advice and personal financial advice?

General financial advice does not take into consideration your Personal Circumstances, such as your goals, financial situation, risk tolerance and life situation, while providing you financial advice or information about a financial product or service. For example, in our QuietGrowth website, information related to financial advice that you can access without logging in or without you providing any details of your Personal Circumstances, can be considered as general financial advice that QuietGrowth provides to you.

Personal financial advice takes into consideration your Personal Circumstances, such as your goals, financial situation, risk tolerance or life situation, while providing you (or suggesting to you, or recommending to you) financial advice or information about a financial product or service. For example, in our QuietGrowth website, information related to financial advice that you can access after logging in or after you provide any details of your Personal Circumstances, can be considered as personal financial advice that QuietGrowth provides to you.

Please note that some services give you only general financial advice, whereas some other services can also give you personal financial advice. Our firm QuietGrowth provides both general financial advice and personal financial advice as part of our service.
