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

QuietGrowth - General 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, on QuietGrowth website, the financial advice that you can access without logging in or without you providing your Personal Circumstances details, is 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, on our QuietGrowth website, the personalised financial advice that you can access after you provide your Personal Circumstances details and log in to your account, is personal financial advice that QuietGrowth provides to you.

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