CENTURIA CAPITAL LIMITED
A single decision can change your life, and that's exactly what Centuria Capital joint chief executive Jason Huljich learned when he came to Australia in the 1990s. Eliza Bavin writes.
The CSSA's website states that it endorses the Financial Planning Association (FPA's) six principles for financial planner remuneration. Given that the FPA are on board w/ the FoFA provisions, where does this leave this Association's claim for special treatment?
And, what breath-taking arrogance to suggest that only his organisation has the skill, expertise and knowledge to "fill the gaps in the market that FoFA will create". There are plenty of expert advisers that could very capably meet this requirements, and who's business models are FoFA ready and compliant.
