Integrating trusts into your advice process

7 March 2013 14:32

Members of the Financial Planning Association (FPA) attended Advanced Technical CPD Workshops around the country in November and December last year.

In the second of a three part series, the session Integrating Trusts into your Advice Process – facilitated by Robert Warnock, a principal at M + K Lawyers, was filmed by www.professionalplanner.com.au.

This workshop covers the roles of the key parties involved in a trust, the advantages and disadvantages of using trusts and the tax and legal issues to consider in the advice process.

Each workshop ran for two hours but the video below has been edited down to 30 minutes.

‘Data war’ a major roadblock to big productivity gains for advisers

A standoff between platforms and advice businesses over who controls client data is holding back productivity gains that could transform the economics of advice. The Professional Planner Licensee Summit heard that platforms are sitting on client data that isn't theirs to keep and the industry can't reach its productivity potential until it changes.
