Advice Trends in Outsourced Paraplanning

Paraplanning trends are rapidly evolving, particularly within the realm of outsourced paraplanning services. VBP, the largest outsourcing company specialising in financial services and back-office solutions for Australian financial planning businesses and licensees, is at the forefront of these developments.

With over 250 clients, we generate hundreds of advice documents every month across our paraplanning division. Analysing this data provides key insights into the current landscape of financial advice in Australia.

Key Trends in Outsourced Paraplanning

According to our data, superannuation strategies are the most popular among Australians seeking financial advice from our clients. This is followed by retirement planning strategies and personal insurance strategies.

Despitesurging inflation and cost-of-living pressures, the number of advice documents being produced has been increasing. With the growing demand for this service, providers of outsourced paraplanning services need to maintain the highest standards in both quality and compliance, including ISO22001.

Emphasis on Quality in Paraplanning Services

With the ever-changing advice landscape, there has been an emphasis on high-quality paraplanning services. This is reflected by some licensees creating panels of approved providers to ensure they meet privacy and security standards in delivering advice to their adviser network. It has also led to greater scrutiny of outsourced paraplanners, as financial planning businesses look to ensure that their advice production partners are meeting these higher standards.
