This issue features an article on paraplanners. Some see paraplanning as a career of specialised advice technicians – a force we couldn’t do without – while others see paraplanning as a stepping stone to becoming an adviser. We talk to three established paraplanners to see why they do what they do and what keeps them motivated to keep doing it.

We also look at how Australian financial advisers are embracing new AI tech with 83% of planners either using AI or planning to in the next 12 months.

Look out for photos of you and your colleagues at recent events.
