Roadshow takes managed accounts to planners
The Institute of Managed Account Providers (IMAP) will kick off its nationwide road-show in Brisbane early next month with a focus on financial planners and the dynamics created by the introduction of the Future of Financial Advice (FOFA) regime.
According to IMAP chairman Toby Potter, the advent of the FOFA regime has produced many challenges for financial planners, and the use of managed accounts can serve to open up at least some options.
He said it was on this basis that the roadshow would be traversing issues such as separately managed account (SMA) models and how they can work in a low business risk; high net worth environment; whole of portfolio hybrid structures; and actual operating examples on standard platforms.
