Keynote: The emerging architecture of global advice

The structural pressures reshaping wealth management are not unique to Australia — but how Australian licensees respond to them will define the next decade. Drawing on BlackRock’s vantage point across global wealth markets, this session examines the operational and cultural shifts redefining how advice businesses are built, scaled, and governed. From the evolution of digital advice infrastructure to the reimagining of due diligence as technology raises expectations around consistency transparency, this session will interrogate what operational maturity for licensees and advice firms can look like at scale.
