A call to arms – Its time for all advisers to take up the fight that the Australian has initiated against advice. It may seem they are having a go at retail super but it will be about advice. They are using APRA returns which take advice fees out of returns. This ignore the benefits of advice – risk assessment, asset allocation, tax planning, estate planning, contribution and pension strategies. Time to hold Anthony Klan to account. Start emailing the Australian on mass. His editor must force him to write a fact based story.
Linda , What a fantastic article in regards to banned adviser stories. I wished you would have lloked at more banned or shamed bank advisers who didnt simply know right and wrong.
