The three characteristics of a healthy retail investing environment

In the first episode of the new season of the Professional Planner Shape of Advice podcast, Vanguard Australia managing director Daniel Shrimski says Australia has many hallmarks of a quality investment destination, but could work on all three of these critical factors.

What is Shape of advice?

The great transformation of Australia's financial advice industry from predominantly bank-owned to a more fragmented mix of independently licensed and like-minded collective tie-ups has occurred swiftly during the past year and a half, with the impact of these changes on business partnerships continuing to play out.

This new podcast series, created and produced by Professional Planner, is a conversational-style exploration of the advice landscape that draws on industry thought-leaders, experts and practitioners who are forging ahead with new partnerships, augmenting business models and adapting to new technologies.
