The annual Money Management Salary Survey is conducted by the Financial Recruitment Group, and examines current remuneration packages in the financial services sector, compiling data on both salary levels and bonus or incentive payments.
The data provided on financial planners does not include those individuals who own their own practice, or other types of self-employed advisers, as determining the actual salary of a business owner is difficult due to their tendency to reinvest profits back into the business. As such, all planners surveyed for this research are those working on a salaried basis.
