Ken Davy: Budget and FAMR create opportunities for advisers
23 Mar 2016
Opportunities abound for advisers, who will take on more clients thanks to the Budget and Financial Advice Market Review.
George Osborne has ridden to Parliament on a white horse and produced an excellent Budget for strivers, savers and entrepreneurs, which is very good news for financial advisers.
Additionally, it looks as if Financial Advice Market Review is not going to deliver a silver bullet as far as access to financial advice is concerned.
Given the fanfare of its launch last August, and the government’s apparent willingness to take a radical approach to increasing access to advice for the mass affluent, the FAMR’s final report is something of a disappointment.
