Industry body says ALP better for advisers over Coalition

Industry body says ALP better for advisers over Coalition Industry body says ALP better for advisers over Coalition An industry body says it is in favour of a change in government as the Coalition has “unfairly targeted” financial advisers. A A In a communication to its members this week, the AIOFP said it believes an ALP government will more beneficial to the financial advice sector. “From 2007 until 2013 the ALP instituted the FOFA legislation which banned financial product commission but excluded risk commissions and grandfathered trails. They had no further proposed amendments leading into their loss to the Abbott government in late 2013,” the AIOFP wrote in response in its paper.

Advisers should not be relied on to fund CSLR

Peter Johnston, AIOFP executive director, said he wanted funding for the CSLR to act in the best interests of consumers by separating advice from product and called on the Government to fund it appropriately.  “Both [advice and product] were forcibly intertwined in the early 1990’s when the banks established their vertically integrated models – code for in-house advisers selling in-house products – an unfortunate event for consumers and the industry in general,” Johnston said.  “There is ample evidence that Commissioner Hayne, the Australian Labor Party and Coalition politicians wanted to commence the scheme from 1 January, 2008.  “Please consider that a disproportionate ratio of funding allocated to advisers will be passed directly back to their clients – putting affordability of advice even further out of reach for consumers.

A A Going ahead in Sydney this October, the free one-day conference will bring together industry experts, thought leaders, peers and regulatory bodies to discuss accessibility and affordability in the advice sector and innovation within the industry. Midwinter chief commercial officer, Steve Davison, said the company is “delighted” to be involved in this year’s Future Forum. “There is strong demand for financial advice in Australia, but a lot of this demand is going unmet due to barriers such as the cost to access financial advice and consumer perception of its usefulness and value,” Mr Davison said.
