Advisers recognised at Hillross/AMP/Charter awards
Advisers and practices across the Hillross, AMP Financial Planning and Charter Financial Planning network are being praised for high levels of client service, quality advice and operational and professional excellence as part of their annual awards program.
AMP, Charter and Hillross advisers had self-nominated or voted colleagues for the awards, which were assessed by a panel of industry insiders. Finalists were simultaneously assessed as part of a client satisfaction survey, conducted by independent research specialist, Beddoes Institute.
Hillross and AMP Financial Planning managing director, Michael Guggenheimer, said: "These awards acknowledge advisers and businesses which are leading the way in helping customers achieve their financial goals through quality advice".
"We know the real difference financial advisers can make in helping people plan for a more secure future."
Sydney-based Navealth Financial Group was awarded practice of the year, while individual advisers from Prospective Financial Solutions in Victoria, and First Class Wealth and Puddle to Pond Financial in New South Wales, were also winners.
