Do financial advisors need licenses to sell investments?

Hello,

A financial advisor sold me several bogus investments that have gone bust.

In the UAE, does a financial advisor need a specific license to propose or sell an investment, or not?

Dear Questioner,

Yes, if he is working in a firm, then the firm will have some license.

Or if he is independent, he needs some other kind of requirements.
