Welcome to Future Ready Advice Summits 2023
Life after licensing
We are delighted to return with our in-person professional financial adviser summits across four locations. This Future Ready summit is designed to help all the advice community, whether a larger provider or individually licensed adviser, get ready for the next stage of the licensing journey, regulatory reporting.
At the summits, we are continuing the journey to support the advice community through the regulatory changes since our first adviser summits ‘Navigating Regulation’ back in 2017 and our ‘Get In Shape’ series in 2020/21, and of course, gives us a much-needed opportunity to reconnect and learn together. View the sessions and discussions from the June 2022 Future Ready Advice Summit here.
This summit focuses on life after licensing, and how advisers can improve their businesses whilst complying with the regulatory returns that will be required by the FMA.
From 16 March 2023, anyone who gives regulated financial advice to retail clients will need to have a Financial Advice Provider (FAP) full licence or be engaged by a FAP with a full licence or an Authorised Body as a financial adviser or nominated representative. If you give financial advice after 16 March 2023 but haven’t got a FAP full licence or don’t work for someone that does, you may be breaking the law.
