Therecent banking royal commission left the nation is a state of uncertainty,concern and in a position of lost faith. Twelve months on and the industry isstill trying to claw back the trust that was lost after the findings wereannounced.

CommissionerKenneth Hayne’s final report to the Federal Government stated “Untilsatisfactory steps have been taken to deal with those involved in the chargingof 'fees for no service', and to ensure that it does not happen again, thefinancial advice industry will lack the public respect and trust that is anecessary aspect of any profession”.

Insurers,mortgage brokers, financial advisors, car dealers and retail super funds wereat the forefront of the report with a number of changes outlined to be headingtheir way. But when it comes to money and finance, our radars are on highalert, as savings and superannuation can dramatically affect us all.

Firms that are registered and carry an Australian Financial Services licence (AFSL), and employ FinancialAdvisors who are proud of their client relationships being built on a foundation of trust.

These firms are located within your community. They are the businesses supporting your local events, giving local people the opportunity to develop their careers, and have been servicing your friends and family for generations.
