The future of stockbroking and private wealth 

Wednesday 28 October from 1.00-2.00pm AEDT

Discussion will cover why the economics of pure execution are quietly breaking down and what’s rising to replace them, the demographic tailwind reshaping who holds the wealth and who’s positioned to advise on it, and trust as the real asset defining who wins the intergenerational transfer of wealth. Peter Foster and Andrew Inwood will also address the platform and technology consolidation setting the ceiling on what firms can offer for the next decade, the strategic choice facing every firm between transaction only, pure advice or a hybrid of the two, and the talent and succession challenge firms need to focus on. Insights are based on new Netwealth and CoreData industry research.

Peter Foster, Sales Director, Netwealth

With more than 20 years’ experience in financial services, Peter has built his career across equity markets, institutional sales and wealth solutions. He began his career at Macquarie Bank before holding senior sales and distribution roles across St George Bank, Westpac Institutional Bank, Specialist Equity Lending and Kennedy Partners. Peter works closely with stockbroking and wealth management firms, helping them evolve their business models and deliver better outcomes for clients through technology, administration and wealth solutions.

Andrew Inwood, Global CEO, CoreData

Andrew is the founder and principal of CoreData and has more than 30 years’ experience in financial services. He began his career at Rothschild Australia Asset Management before spending over a decade at AMP Investments, including a secondment to Virgin Direct in the UK. He later held senior roles at Wizard Home Loans and Telstra before establishing CoreData, which now operates internationally. Andrew has authored more than 50 major research papers and is a respected keynote speaker on client behaviour and experience.
