The Institute for Financial Wellbeing (IFW), the non-profit body which aims to promote and campaign for better adviser and client wellbeing, is holding its 2024 annual conference later this month with the theme of ‘Financial Wellbeing 2030.’

The number of advice firms planning to launch their own in-house platform has levelled-off, according to NextWealth’s latest report into the trend.

National IFA Continuum has increased its number of advisers by 15% to 70 over the past year, according to figures released by the company this week.

Financial advisers believe Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology will improve client servicing but could also potentially threaten the jobs done by human advisers.
