The new addition to the Web site will assist advisers in keeping up to date with industry and legislative developments as well as generating checklists of sales ideas from a database of more than 140 strategies, Stockford says.
Advisers will also be able to search a database of case studies and standard texts on plan preparation.
The Portfolio Preference master trust is used by 82 financial advisers and has $13.8 million under management.
