The conference will give advisers the opportunity to hear what leading industry influencers and policymakers believe the future holds, and help them decide how their own businesses should respond to the key challenges facing the advice profession.
Keynote speakers include AIFA chairman John Selwyn Gummer MP, former Which? chief policy adviser Mick McAteer, Standard Life chief executive Trevor Matthews and Stephen Bland, director of the FSA’s small firms division.
Alongside the four keynote speeches, delegates will be able to choose from a raft of panel debates covering a wide range of topics affecting advice businesses.
Topics for debate include:
- The impact of the Retail Distribution Review and the outlook for small adviser firms;
- The rise of wrap and fund platforms and the threat to independence;
- Is chartered status worth the effort?
- Is commission really a bad way of buying products?
- Whether affordability is the next miss-selling controversy
