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.
It's high time some reason returned to the financial services industry. Opt-in is so dangerous for both advisers and their clients because of human inertia (some businesses have done very well from human inertia).
Ditto for conflicted remuneration. The industry is already over-regulated and the former government seemed intent on adding to the onerousness of it.
I agree wholeheartedly Paul Herring. Let conflicts of interest continue to rule financial advisers' remuneration package!
