Report Highlights
This report looks at the changing structure of the financial advisor market
and how advisors of different ages are adjusting to changes in products,
regulation and technology. It also examines the future for aging firms of
advisors.
For all advisors, confusing regulation is regarded as the biggest current
challenge within the financial advice market, with 66% of all survey
participants selecting it as one of their top three biggest challenges.
Attitudes towards the challenges faced by financial advisors differ widely

regulation is the largest challenge faced by the community. The younger age
