Relative Return Insider: One last word – Jones on advice, reform, and what comes next
In this week’s special edition of Relative Return Insider, we bring you outgoing Financial Services Minister Stephen Jones’ keynote from Momentum Media’s Election 2025 event, followed by a Q&A focused on the Delivering Better Financial Outcomes reforms.
In what may be his final appearance before an advice audience, Jones reflects on his three-year tenure and outlines Labor’s unfinished business in financial advice – and what a returned government would aim to complete.
Tune in to hear:
- How changes to education standards could revive adviser numbers.
- Updates on the Compensation Scheme of Last Resort.
- The role of new advisers in closing the advice gap for retiring Australians.
- Why Jones believes just six more months could’ve made all the difference.
