An Introduction to the RE5 Exam
The RE5 Exam, a regulatory examination in the Financial Advisor and Intermediary Services (FAIS) sector, is also referred to as an RE5 license. It is a requirement as per the FAIS Act, which has been established to regulate the industry and ensure that clients are protected. This is regulated by the Financial Services Conduct Authority, who ensure all professionals possess the necessary knowledge and understanding of regulatory standards, compliance, ethics, and governance.
Anyone can write the RE5 exam, there are no requirements to do so and to get an RE5 Certificate, but not everyone will pass and meet all the other FAIS requirements, which are different for FSPs, determined by the Category they fall within. There are certain positions that does not even require you to have an RE5 Certificate, but FSPs use this certificate to protect themselves, and by having the RE5 certificate you have a better chance of being employed. Working with their clients, you will be their Representative, providing a service on behalf of the company (FSP), meaning you will directly deal with the client, offering advice and services.
