With decision-time fast approaching for AFA and FPA members on the merger proposal – which requires 75% approval from both associations – the result of our latest poll gets the nod for the Riskinfo Story of the Week…
- Strongly agree (45%)
- Somewhat agree (22%)
- No change (14%)
- Strongly disagree (13%)
- Somewhat disagree (6%)
Most Riskinfo readers think the proposed AFA/FPA merger would deliver a better outcome for financial advisers and the clients they serve, according to the results from our latest poll.
We’re not declaring most ‘advisers’ think the merger would deliver a better outcome, because Riskinfo polls are open to all.
The poll question considers the impact of a merged association, rather than whether Riskinfo readers would actually vote for the merger. Reading between the lines, however, this result may serve as an early indicator of the possible outcome of the merger vote to be conducted with eligible AFA and FPA members, where 75% or more of both associations must support the proposition for the merger to proceed.
Our poll remains open for another week and we welcome your thoughts as the countdown to the respective member votes (dates for which have yet to be confirmed) continues…
