More advice practices are moving away from large dealer groups, instead opting for self-licensing, in search of greater independence and autonomy within their businesses, according to the head of an insurance and risk advice firm.

Adviser Ratings’ Musical Chairs Report for Q1 2024, released earlier this month, revealed that 82 per cent of licensees are in a privately owned licensee with fewer than 10 advisers, and the number of advisers under this category of licensee has increased by 17.9 per cent since 2017.

These findings highlight a growing shift towards privately owned licensees within the industry. In an Adviser Ratings post, the founder and managing director of Numerisk, Richard Silberman, said a desire for autonomy and flexibility are contributing to the shift.
