Australia’s Association for Financial Advisers has released a white paper in conjunction with insurer Zurich, called Connected Convenience.
It looks at the use of mobile devices among financial adviser clients.
AFA chief executive Brad Fox warned that advisers needed to find new ways to stay top-of-mind in an evolving marketplace. "The need to stay relevant at all times is growing, because there are so many ways for a client to be distracted away from their current adviser. So if you aren't staying in their life between the 12-monthly catch-ups, then you will not be doing 12-monthly catch-ups soon," he said at the launch of the white paper.
The research found that financial advisers’ clients were more likely to use smartphones and tablets than the general public.

But 62% of high net-worth baby boomer clients own a smartphone.
