#12 Access to Financial Advice Review

In this edition of 5 mins with the FMA Head of Financial Advice Romil Ghelani speaks to Heidi Norman about the Financial Advice Review. Regulatory Returns data signals a healthy financial sector. This is the first time the FMA has collected a comprehensive snapshot of the financial advice sector since the new Financial Advice regime came into effect in March 2023.  This data is derived from the 2024 Financial Advice Provider regulatory returns and provides valuable insights into what types of products are being advised on as well as the way customers are receiving that advice. The FMA will use this data to help shape the way we supervise and engage with the sector going forward. Additional information can be found here: https://statics.teams.cdn.office.net/evergreen-assets/safelinks/1/atp-safelinks.html
