In this special episode of the ifa Show, ifa editor Maja Garaca Djurdjevic is joined by co-host Neil Griffiths to look at the week’s biggest stories. Maja and Neil discuss Australian Advisory’s latest research paper which outlined the biggest concerns of advisers moving forward, on the back of news that the total number of advisers in Australia has dropped below 19,000. Meanwhile, earlier this week, the Financial Services Council (FSC) released a new white paper which proposes a framework that the peak body claims could reduce the cost of providing financial advice by almost 40 per cent. Maja and Neil discuss the paper and the reaction to the recommendations within the industry.
