Perpetual tops valuable planner list
Perpetual Private Clients has the most valuable planners of the institutional financial planning groups according to data collected as part of the upcoming Money Management Top 100 Dealer Group survey.
According to funds under advice per adviser Perpetual was well ahead of its nearest institutional rival and was only surpassed in funds under advice per adviser by corporate superannuation advice group Telstra Super Financial Planning.
The Top 100 data shows that Perpetual Private Clients has 58 planners and $12.7 billion in funds under advice between 8400 clients. As a result Perpetual planners had an average of $21.8 million of funds under advice per adviser well ahead of the next planning group - The Principal Edge which had an average funds under advice per adviser of $143 million.
As a result of this The Principal Edge was the highest ranking non-institutionally aligned dealer group in the survey for funds under advice per adviser.
In other data collected in the survey financial planning software Xplan continued to rate well among financial planners with two thirds of planning groups surveyed reporting they use the software.
Of the 100 groups surveyed 43 reported they used Xplan while Coin and Midwinter were used by a further 21 planning groups. These ratios were reflected in the actual planner numbers reported using the various software packages with Xplan used by 6450 planners and Coin and Midwinter used by 4280 planners.
