Yes

No

Maybe so.

IMHO, be generic. This is verbatim what I submitted way back when: “85% of time is spent compiling/reviewing individual clients’ financial and investment information into workable financial plans, constructing asset allocation models for clients, meeting with the clients to establish their plans, implementing and servicing their accounts. 15% of time is spent speaking with clients over their concerns, performance of their accounts, placing trades, making sure allocations are maintained.”

Yes.
