I share and I'm not going to or interested in their stuff.
And for CoFI: the Manufacturers

I don't want to end the year on a sour note, but to be blunt: the FSC appears to have filled a void that is desired by many advisers in the industry. In speaking with a wide range of financial advisers, it seems that the fragmented nature of the industry has left many feeling alone, unsure and in need of good old fashion comradery.
Whilst I congratulate the FSC for this initiative, I'm also sensitive to the conflict identified by Murray. However I believe that the objectives of the FSC advice summit outweigh the inevitable challenges that have been identified at this point in time.
Perhaps the FANZ Board could pause in their deliberations for a moment, throw away their next electronic survey, and hit the streets to understand their membership.

I agree with you.
I am not against an adviser-focused conference, in case anyone thinks I am.
It's just that I think it should have been arranged and promoted by the adviser body, not the manufacturers.

FSC was historically the representative of the manufacturers - the banks and the big life companies. But increasingly they seem to be extending their reach into adviserland.
I've always thought advisers need their own strong voice.
One potential area of tension is forthcoming CoFI. If manufacturers believe that they will be required to "supervise" everyone selling their product, on whose side do you think FSC would fall - manufacturers or advisers.
