By GlobalDataOliver said: “This is the network for those IFAs and brokers who have become disenfranchised with their network provider or those who want to set up by themselves but are struggling with licence regulatory demands.”
According to Oliver, the will enable smaller IFAs to reduce the burden amid rising regulatory requirements and costs.
He added: “I believe all stakeholders can benefit from the network: more clients and more smaller IFAs get the protection of being backed by deVere, an established, well-resourced and hugely successful financial brand; IFAs get the freedom to run their business with the back office essentials taken care of; and regulators can deal with a fewer number of organisations, meaning processes will be more efficient and effective.”
