Regulatory and market forces that Centrepoint is actively managing
23FY2018 Results Presentation & Strategy Update
Regulatory/market force Impact
Royal Commission into Financial Services
• Royal commission has a high likelihood of impacting us, the extent to which will be unclear until it comes to a close in 2019
Professionalising Advice (FASEA)
• FASEA has imposed increased education requirements for new and existing financial advisers which will affect some of our adviser network
Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA)
• AFCA expected to commence in late 2018 to provide greater consumer protection. Centrepoint has experienced a diminishing number of Legacy Claims (i.e. claims relating to 2010 & prior)
ASIC • Increased surveillance and regulatory activity; annual supervisory costs will be recovered through adviser fees
Life insurance industry changes
• Life Insurance reforms commenced 1 January 2018 overall reducing life insurance advice remuneration.
Business models in a state of flux
• Structural and pricing changes amongst the ‘big six’, and the rise of self-licensed models driving a renewed re-setting of the wealth industry landscape
Centrepoint is moving towards a new identity
