Stafford Capital head of client solutions, Australia and New Zealand Elysse Morgan spends most of her working day engaging with the keepers of capital, encouraging them to break new ground, to step away from the conventional, and go against the grain with the nascent asset class of timber. Andrew McKean writes.
In the recent past, educational requirements were prescribed by academics, seeking to feather their own nest and it only made entry requirements too high which also lacked functional purpose. Treasury should do its research like an exit poll on advisers who left the advising profession and ask them why? (2018: 28,000 to 2022: 17,000. My actuarial model is that retail Financial Advisers should demographically be around 1% of population.) Otherwise, the dream-boat academics will try to reinvest another new wheel, as their theoretical contribution, so daunting history of requirements repeats itself! As I wrote in my submission to the QAR, there needs to horizontal coordination with the FP professional association as the Peak Industry Coordinator, to tell Treasury what needs to be implemented in Regulatory Industry Governance as a functional Microprudential framework. Vertical authorities across the Macroprudential world with the smartest legal eagles have failed in the last 50 years.
