In today's economic and financial landscape, navigating risk has become increasingly challenging due to many factors impacting the global economy and financial markets. The complexities are extensive and quite unlike anything experienced in decades, if ever before. The issues are contributing to the uncertainty and inconsistent market behaviour:
The recent ARF article, 'The wealth adviser exodus has bottomed out (for now),' began with the numbers. "More than 12,000 financial advisers have retired or handed back their registration since the financial services royal commission, which levelled widespread allegations of misconduct against the sector in 2018. The exits represent a 43 percent decline in workforce size in just five years".
The business of financial advice isn't getting any easier. We know. It's an understatement. Turbulent market conditions, escalating client expectations and the rising cost of compliance don't make for a smooth ride.
