As the financial planning profession evolves and the demands of consumers continue to change, the role of the professional researcher is also changing. The Best Interests duty under the Future of Financial Advice (FoFA) reforms will affect the relationship between financial planers and clients, and therefore change the requirements that financial planners have of their research providers.
On December 5 Professional Planner is hosting the inaugural Dealer Group Research Forum to examine the changing business of research, and the changing role of researchers. The Forum boasts a line-up of panellists drawn from leading dealer groups and research houses, and will feature an update from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) on the regulator’s view of the sector and its expectations of research professionals.
A limited number of places remain at this industry-standard event. The forum is open only to professionals engaged in the creation and distribution of investment and risk product research – please visit the event website for more information, and to register your interest in attending.
