Top 100

The Money Management Top 100 Financial Planning Group Survey 2016 is the longest running annual snapshot of the leading advice groups in the sector.

Based on size the survey also includes a range of other information including the education standards of planners, their professional indemnity insurance arrangement and the platforms, software, research houses and professional indemnity insurers they use. Compiled annually since 1999 the Top 100 has continued to track the ‘big picture’ movements taking place in the area of financial planning as well as providing details and specifics about the planning groups involved.
