The Quality of Bank-Provided Investment Consulting Service for Private Individuals in Estonia

Kantšukov Mark and Štšukina Maria

Abstract—In this paper we assess the quality of investment consulting service for private individuals provided by Estonian commercial banks. The study is based on content analysis of websites of commercial banks, and (staged) interviews with investment consultants in main Estonian banking institutions. We find that investment consulting service in Estonian banks is not on appropriate level compared to developed markets, and there is a significant room for improvement. However, severity of particular problems related to investment consulting service varies by institution.

Index Terms—Customer protection, financial sector, investment consulting, retail banking.
