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.
