Small licensees up 17% since 2018
« back to media
3 October 2023
by
Keith Ford, Independent Financial Adviser
Article link:
https://www.ifa.com.au/news/33354-small-licensees-up-17-since-2018
As the number of financial advisers in Australia dwindles, and AFSLs tumble with them, small licensees are the only category to be thriving.
According to numbers from Adviser Ratings, there has been a 17 per cent increase in the number of small licensees since 2018, which is in stark contrast with the broader AFSL environment. Over the same period, the number of Australian Financial Services Licensees (AFSLs) has fallen from 2,282 to 1,826 as of June 2023.
The Adviser Ratings numbers showed that there are now 1,483 licensees with between one and 10 advisers, up from 1,266 over the last four and a half years.
According to Adviser Ratings, the benefits of small licensees include a wider range of offerings and an ability to focus on a niche market specialisation that larger licensees may neglect. It added that flexible business arrangements and more personal relationships are also among the draws for advisers working with small licensees.
