Adviser Ratings has found more than 80% of advisers back the merger of the Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA) and the Association of Financial Advisers (AFA) as most prefer to hold only one association membership.

The FPA and AFA boards said there are “substantial synergies and other benefits” for their members from a merger, such as creating a united voice and allowing stronger advocacy for financial planners and advisers.

Breaking it down between the two different associations, the FPA had seen the most pronounced growth of the two with 44% being members of the FPA, up from 38% in FY20. This compared to 13% who were AFA members, up from 12% over the same period.

Adviser Ratings posited the smaller volume of AFA members was because it had traditionally been  favoured by risk advisers who had been leaving the industry in high volumes recently.
