Professional Adviser 360 -2018 | Incisive Media | 24 April 2018 | The Brewery, 52 Chiswell St, London EC1Y 4SD, UK

Has there ever been a better time to be a financial adviser? It's a serious question. Yes, there's ever-increasing regulation, an uncertain economic and investment outlook and the challenges posed by robo-advice. But those are the very issues creating huge opportunities for advisers. The Retail Distribution Review has helped ‘professionalise' and improve the advisory sector, amid a significant rise in demand for advice - which in turn has been enhanced by uncertain markets. A demand which ‘robo advice', properly used, can clearly help advisers meet. And, until the banks formulate a response to this demand, advisers' only real competition is each other.
