Brighter Super head of listed equities and ESG Fiona Mann was shaped by a childhood steeped in military-like discipline and global nomadism. Andrew McKean writes.
One of the current challenges for change is that mature practices with pre FoFA revenue suffer a significant cash flow hit when moving into any new Licence that doesn't have any grandfathering locked in. This suggests that AFSL's with grandfathering, APL & Platform flexibility with scale will most likely be the beneficiary of moves in 2015. There's a lot of noise about inquiries for self licensing today but no real evidence of large practices taking the hit once they realise the loss of cash flow. There's strong reason for like minded firms looking for scale and flexibility tofilter through the non bank, non AMP non IOOF affiliated AFSL market and find homes that are in tune with low cost product delivery and higher advice fees.
