Mason Stevens has been announced as the winner of the Adviser Support award at Adviser Ratings’ inaugural Adviser Choice Awards.
The award, which recognises the financial services companies that best support financial advisers’ professional growth and business development, comes on the back of the technology and ratings business’ Adviser Ratings’ Landscape report released last week which looked at how financial advice has been impacted by the changing nature of wealth management.
“Supporting our network of advisers is at the core of everything we do, and this award is a testament to that,” Mason Stevens’ managing director and head of distribution, Nick Mitchell, said.
“We are steadfast in our approach to outstanding client service, and this recognition reflects our long-standing commitment to provide an excellent client experience across our platform and asset management capabilities”.
Adviser Ratings’ latest report found that advisers intend to use investment platforms more in 2022 to “service clients more effectively and efficiently”, while over 50 per cent also said they aim to increase ESG exposure this year.
Adviser Ratings CEO Angus Woods said the findings reflect an advice industry that has been “in a state of flux for a number of years” and that change continues.
“The advice and wealth management industries continue to evolve, and the impacts across the board, from product providers through to consumers, is significant,” Mr Woods said.
“Our research asks many questions on how Australians will receive advice in the future, and who will advise them.”
