Half a million Aussies ‘sacked’ by their advisers as firms chase wealthier clients 💼💰 The Australian Financial Review talks to Angus Woods who says the shift isn't just an ethical dilemma—it's a systemic one! “These regulations aimed to protect consumers from poor advice have inadvertently led to nearly half of the advisers leaving the profession or focusing only on wealthy clients,” says Woods. Some advisers let go of lower-fee clients to stay profitable, while others focus on ‘sophisticated’ or ‘wholesale’ investors due to less regulatory disclosure. Rebecca Pritchard of Rising Tide Financial emphasises: “If a financial planner can no longer serve a client, they should clearly communicate this and help them transition to another planner or a self-directed approach.” 🔍📈 Find the latest industry research in comments: 2024 Advice Landscape Report, proudly sponsored by Lonsec, Numerisk.
