Finance advisers mostly a sales force, report says

An article in the Sydney Morning Herald, Oct 25 2009, warns consumers to ensure they are receiving truely unbiased information.

A report obtained by the Herald shows that despite widespread calls for the industry to reform, financial advisers working for leading fund managers almost invariably advise clients to invest in their parent company's superannuation products.

For the industry's critics, the report demonstrates that the bulk of the financial planning industry acts as little more than a thinly disguised sales force for the wealth management companies and big banks that employ them.

FINANCIAL planning is at the crossroads

A recent article published on Business Day has highlighted the great debate evolving around Financial planning fees and commissions

"It is vital that the financial planning industry evolves to a point where investors can be certain the advice they receive is in their best interests."

"It is important to define exactly what "fee-for-service" means."

"A complete ban on commissions in the financial planning industry is inappropriate as in some cases this model is best for the client. However, fee-for-service must be clearly defined, and not just a smokescreen."

Smart Investor

June's Smart Investor magazine discusses investment fees and commissions in an article titled "Hide and seek - When making new investments be aware - you may also be charged hidden fees and trails"

The article is written wonderfully succinctly and easy to understand.

"If you're getting a service for what you're paying, stick with what you are doing, YourShare founder Paul Brady says. But if you don't know you're paying fees and you don't feel you're getting service, change to us and we will stop any new contribution fees and rebate most of the trailing commission back to you."
