Australia’s once buoyant economy is now stalling and with the FSI under increased scrutiny emanating from the Hayne and Productivity Commission reports and ever changing reforms, Australians are feeling unsettled, from those trying to navigate the complexity of retirement financial decision making and associated risks, to even the most disengaged starting to question and lose confidence in the industry.
