Most influential financial advisers revealed in FS Power50BY ANDREW MCKEAN | MONDAY, 4 NOV 2024 12:33PMFinancial Standard has recognised the most influential financial advisers in Australia in its annual FS Power50 list. The Power50 list, now in its 11th year, comprises 50 financial advisers who are deemed to be best promoting the value of the financial advice profession, while providing outstanding service to clients and the wider community. Power50 selection began with an open nominations process, which was vetted down to 114 advisers. These advisers proceeded to a voting phase, where readers of Financial Standard and FS Advice voted; these votes were then weighted to determine the final 50. "In the making of this list, we defined 'influential' as individuals who have been, or continue to be, instrumental in shaping the future of the financial advice industry. It's become clear in recent years just how seriously the advice community takes the Power50 - they want to see a list of advisers they can stand behind each year, one that is truly representative of the industry. A list by advisers, for advisers," Financial Standard managing editor Jamie Williamson said. This year's Power50 had a strong representation from Queensland, with advisers from the Sunshine State making up 36% of the honorees - the highest representation by state. Meantime, women accounted for 36% of the advisers on the list, an increase of 6% from 2023. There was also an even split in the size of the companies represented, with half of this year's advisers coming from groups with 50 or fewer advisers and the other half from groups with more than 50. Meanwhile, the list welcomed 15 first-time honorees, bringing the total alumni count to 267. The newcomers include:
