The Last 12 Months
Regular readers would know, that we always recommend to look past the traditional start point for analysis, i.e. Jan 1 and July 1. That’s because we see a relatively high number of resignations at the end of each calendar and financial year, followed by a burst of new appointments.

The chart below, highlights the change over the last 12 months along with some insights to what happened in the previous 12 months.

The data shows that the adviser market is down by a net (-181) advisers. However, this holds up well to the previous 12 months of (-688), which was still reeling from the FASEA Exam.

The number of new licensees is at 166 and ceased at (-65), a net increase of 101. The previous 12 months showed a total of 142 licensees commencing with (-101) ceased, a net change of +41.

Licensee owners Sequoia had the best ‘organic’ growth at 29, followed by Shaw and Partners at 25. Insignia led the losses of (-140) (excludes any losses at Millennium 3), followed by WT Financial Group at (-63).
