ASX-listed fintechs Hub24 and Praemium experienced net investor inflows of $2.6 billion and $725 million to their wealth management platform products respectively in the three months to March 31, as the big banks’ exit from the sector continues to fragment the financial advice industry.

According to research house Adviser Ratings, 2021 will be remembered as the “year bank licensees virtually ceased to exist”, with just 334 financial advisers now working for big banks, down from 1193 in 2020 and 5000 in 2018 before the royal commission.

Financial advisers working for or licensed by privately owned entities – who can more freely choose their own technology products than those aligned to institutions and are the core target market of independent platforms – now account for more than 60 per cent of the industry, up from about 40 per cent in 2016.
