They are knowledgeable on the matter, from the point of view of the regulator, as well as from the regulatory point of view, having a lot of experience with companies in the sector, which allows them to have an open mind in the analysis they carry out on any matter. Their relationship with the regulator is very important. Another aspect to highlight would be its availability to cover any of its clients’ needs.
