In a ranking and advice firm, which approved job role would undertake the activities of...

Ranking and Advice constitutes the fifth category of financial-activity licensing under the CISI UAE Financial Rules and Regulations. Within this category, the principal functions expected at firm level include a Category Manager or Official, Compliance Officer and Risk Management Officer. The rules then separately identify each regulated financial activity and the approved professional job associated with that activity. For Financial Consulting , Financial Consultant (Issue Manager) and Listing Consultant , the approved job is Financial Analyst . Promotion, by contrast, is associated with a Promotion Manager. A Trading and Clearing Broker and Broker Representative belong to securities brokerage and dealing functions rather than the Ranking and Advice category. Although a Compliance Officer is a principal control function within a Category 5 firm, that officer does not perform the regulated Listing Consultant activity simply by virtue of holding the compliance role. The CISI table explicitly maps Listing Consultant to Financial Analyst. Consequently, option D is the only answer consistent with the approved-jobs framework.
