Importance of Independent Advice Masterclass Top 50 Award
 

Consumer Alert...

 

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) recently conducted a survey on superannuation switching advice given by Australian financial advisers. The results are disturbing. ASIC looked at 4,900 cases of advice given by advisers with a related party conflict (advisers that are not independent). They found that in a staggering 90% of cases, the adviser recommended a switch to their related fund. View this Report.

At Aspire, we believe this report highlights just how important it is to be getting independent financial advice. Without it, there is the very real risk that an adviser will put their own interests first rather than yours.

Aspire Financial Consulting Pty Ltd is a local firm providing independent financial advice in Toowoomba. We provide honest, reliable advice on a wide range of issues including investments, superannuation, personal insurance and mortgages.

Unlike most other financial planning firms, we have our own Australian Financial Services Licence and have no links to any of the financial institutions that we recommend.
