The team at Adviser Ratings are delighted to announce our winners of this year’s $30,000 pool of prizes. All advisers who had their say on the Financial Advice Landscape 2020 national study were entered into the draw and we have some excited winners.
First prize, a $15,000 bespoke media marketing package from the experts at Pinstripe Media has been won by Nicolas Croft, Associate Director of Perks in Parkside, South Australia.
Nicolas has been in the financial advice industry since his early 20’s and is now coming up on 20 years as an adviser. Nicolas says, “Surveys such as the Adviser Ratings Financial Advice Landscape are really useful tools to see how other advisers see the industry and the emerging trends and challenges.
Technology and regulation are becoming key challenges but also create opportunities. For those in the advice business, events like COVID-19 re-enforce the value and importance of quality advice and provide a chance for the sector to shine and show the community how we are rapidly moving to become a true profession”.
A huge congratulations to Nicolas.
