The future of platforms and wraps in a post-FOFA environment



Money Management will conduct its inaugural Platforms and Wraps seminar in Sydney on 15 November.
The day-long seminar will showcase new research findings covering the platforms and wraps space, and bring together a range of industry leaders to discuss the future of the industry in the context of the changes flowing from the Government's Future of Financial Advice legislation.
While legislative change will be a key discussion point, so will technological developments and the manner in which they will shape the delivery of platform-related products into the next half-decade.
All of the major platform and wrap providers will be represented, with former Colonial First State chief executive Brian Bissaker facilitating a session aimed at ventilating the key issues currently confronting the sector.
