Net Change of Advisers YTD - Zero for Financial Planning Business Model
As we approach the end of the end of the third quarter, it’s noteworthy that the Financial Planning business model shows no net change in advisers for the year to date. This model includes firms that provide holistic advice.

The Accounting - Financial Planning model, which consists mainly of accounting firms offering holistic advice, has gained 13 advisers.

Meanwhile, the Accounting - Limited Advice Model, which provides mostly restricted advice for SMSF clients, has lost 71 advisers (down 12.41%).

The Super Fund Based Advice model, mainly composed of industry super funds giving advice, has decreased by 45 advisers (down 6.30%). This decline is largely due to mergers among super funds and advisers previously limited to basic superannuation advice being removed from the ASIC FAR.

Change of Advisers By Business Model to Jan 1, 2024 to Sep 19 2024
