According to the update, Paragem “continues to experience increased interest in this segment as practices look to unwind from institutionally owned relationships and access the benefits of the managed accounts”.
Since the acquisition, 10 financial planning practices and 18 advisers have joined onto Paragem.
“Across the market we are observing an increasing number of advisers becoming self‐licensed or joining more flexible dealer groups as demonstrated by Paragem recruiting five advice practices during 2HFY17,” the update said.
