The future of financial advice is being shaped today, as licensees and advisers find new ways of working together to streamline the delivery of advice to clients, and to improve the financial performance of advisers’ businesses.

Those processes don’t always go smoothly, and the implementation of the Delivering Better Financial Outcomes legislation is a current case in point.

The CoreData Future of Financial Advice research is designed to reflect the shared experiences and expertise of financial advisers across the country to create a context for fostering innovation and change and to identify where it’s needed most.
