With the convergence of focus from both the implementation of the Retirement Income Covenant and Quality of Advice Review, all eyes are on the advice strategies and advice functions of super funds to play a greater role in helping members prepare for and retire with confidence. This year’s event will centre on our need to be much more focused on ensuring there is a clear outcome in mind when we consider the role of advice in super. Whether we are talking about client engagement skills, operating processes or licensee standards, being clear about the problem/opportunity we are responding to, and the outcome we are seeking is critical.
Following the conference, there is a celebratory dinner where we will recognise the outstanding contributions of our fund advice teams, including the announcement of winners for the annual IFS Advice Excellence Awards.
More speaker announcements coming soon, stay tuned.
This conference is for anyone in the superannuation industry involved in the delivery of member education and advice.
