The FAAA Townsville Chapter Committee invite you to join them for their Professional Development Lunch Event on Tuesday 19 March at A Touch of Salt.

Organisational and regulatory shifts continue to forge the future of what financial advice will look like as we face into the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in history. Join our event partners BlackRock and HUB24, and Dennis Di Bartolo of Altitude Wealth Management, for a guided panel discussion on how advice service offerings are evolving amid these shifts.

Following the panel discussion, BlackRock and HUB24 will also share strategies designed to address the changing needs of accumulator clients from the day they begin their investing journey, through to retirement.
