Hey there!
I think as a client, it is within your prerogative to state out your expectations with your advisor and of course, all being reasonable and logical too.
There are customers who want a purely transactional relationship while there may be other clients who love new updates and advisory that goes beyond the sales of insurance eg. what's happening in the market, hottest stocks, good deals etc. What we deem as benchmarks are hence highly subjective. So communicating the expectations is necessary because it can be difficult to gauge what is expected if it's not verbalized.
Of course as an advisor, there are some sort of servicing and reviewing which has to be consistent especially when it comes to investment plans. Your advisor should be updating you on your investments periodically, a good 2-3 months interval will be great and doing necessary fund switches when necessary. Reviewing of insurance should happen 6 months to a year or whenever there is a lifestage change eg. marriage, newborn child, housing etc.
All in all, an advisor should be within the realm of approachability for anything finance related.
