Administration platforms have been a constant in wealth management and continue to evolve alongside advisers and their practices. As the industry chips away at its product distribution mould and progresses its professional status, platforms have needed to evolve too. This episode considers the integration between platform and advice business, it pulls back the curtain on recent developments with platform/adviser agreements, and it asks what will be most valuable and what may already be redundant in these essential partnerships with advisers.

Where we’ve come from, where we are now and where we’re heading. This episode considers the external and internal impacts that have combined to deliver the local wealth management industry to where it is today and what recent events might tell us about the future direction. The conversation reflects on the Hayne royal commission, looks at Covid19 as a catalyst for change and considers advice in the context of a post product distribution and new revenue fee model world.
