Insignia Financial is targeting its salaried financial advisers increase their revenue per adviser by 62.5 per cent over the next five years.

LGT Crestone chief executive Michael Chisholm believes the firm was chosen by Commonwealth Bank to acquire its personal advice arm due to its strong private market capability.

AWAG and Teaminvest Private Group have teamed up to offer a succession lending fund to help advice principals navigate succession planning and enjoy their retirement.

With nearly one-third of financial advisers utilising Australian Ethical’s investment options, expanding its advised channels remains a key focus for the firm.

Advisers will now be able to tap into global markets on the platform through international signature managed accounts from global managers like T. Rowe Price and Lazard.

The firm has looked overseas to tap Lucinda Hill for the newly created role of executive general manager, product and operations, as it looks to expand into the US.

Insignia Financial intends to be the leading wealth manager by 2030 as it moves away from acquisitions to achieve $200 million in cost savings per annum over the next five years.

Selfwealth has announced it has received a “highly attractive” bid from Bell Financial Group to acquire 100 per cent of the company, valuing the company at $51 million.

Referral arrangements with other professional advisers, known as Centres of Influence, can help financial advisers to build client relationships, engagement and trust over time.
