ipac Equity Partner’s unique business model, which sees advisers operating under a equity stake fee-for-service model, has seen it take out the third annual Money Management/CoreData Dealer Group of the Year award.
The award, the product of amalgamating Money Management’s Top 100 Dealer Groups research with CoreData’s Star Index, saw the major dealer groups not only being assessed against factors such as planner numbers and funds under advice, but also external and internal planner perceptions.
This year’s runner-up was Commonwealth Financial Planning, followed by ipac Financial Planning and then Charter Financial Planning.
Commonwealth Financial Planning emerged as the top-rated bank-based dealer group.
