Non-Intermediatng
Financial Planning Is Not A Regulated Activity
We forecast a decline in the heavily regulated adviser-distributors, a cash cow. There is a rising star, the unregulated productless holistic planner. In some markets the regulator has split advice and distribution to accelerate the transition from product-centred adviser to productless holistic planner. We too split advice from distribution. The result is a non-regulated activity we call non-intermediating financial planning. Regulation is unnecessary as there can be no mis-selling in a productless service. Because we are non-intermediating, we can act as the personal regulator for the client.
What Makes Us Different?

As the world’s first non-intermediating financial planning network, our members deliver general advice and financial education digitally to create and protect wealth in every area of their clients' lives. This requires that we unlearn product sales processes and replace them with digital delivery of product-less holistic financial planning.
