And it appears that at least a proportion of risk advisers who aren&#8217;t prepared to meet the new education standards still want to find a way to maintain an engagement with their clients in a way which will continue to add value, even if this is not as an authorised representative delivering personal financial advice.<\/p>\n<p>Of the two offers that have been reported by Riskinfo during the last week, one scenario involves the adviser ceasing to be an authorised representative and becoming a consultant, working in conjunction with the authorised representative in serving his\/her client base and sharing the renewal commissions.<\/p>\n<p>The other scenario sees the adviser retain their authorised representative status, but only provide general advice; not personal advice.<\/p>\n<p>Such offers may appeal to many or they may appeal to few. It&#8217;s not our role to assess the legitimacy or the value of these propositions, but we&#8217;ll be keen to hear from you as to your own assessment of these two initiatives and their potential to offer a genuine career alternative for some or for many.<\/p>\n<p>Let us know what you think and we&#8217;ll report back next week&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our latest poll is drawn from two recently-reported initiatives which seek to offer an alternative career path for risk specialist advisers: Alternate General Advice Proposition for Risk Specialists &#8216;Plan B&#8217; Offer for Risk Specialists Important in this conversation is the need to clarify that these offers and this debate is not about how to circumvent [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":54936,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,6994,49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-compliance-regulation","category-education","category-polls"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54931"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54931\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riskinfo.com.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
