Developed in conjunction with Finura Group, the ‘2022 Adviser and Advice Tech report’ reviewed five end-to-end providers, 15 application solution providers, six digital advice providers and two platform providers, with a view of how each of those providers interact in the advice framework.

Calls have been made for Australia’s advice industry to follow the UK’s regulatory model of regulating relevant and non-relevant providers separately. The joint submission to the Quality of Advice Review from consulting firms Encore Advisory, Finura Group and Tangelo Advice Consulting has argued consumers having widely dissimilar experiences of receiving advice from relevant providers versus limited scope advice through a super fund, with less regulatory requirements, isn’t a good outcome for consumers.
