Anderson returns to AFA
Phil Anderson has returned to his senior policy role at the Association of Financial Advisers (AFA).
After departing little more than 18 months ago to become Netwealth’s general manager, governance and advice, Anderson has returned to the position of general manager, policy and professionalism.
Confirming Anderson’s return, AFA chief executive, Phil Kewin said Anderson had a tried and proven track record in the field of policy and professionalism and a passion for advice.
“We believe Phil will assist the AFA and its members take advice in Australia to the next level,” he said. “The AFA wants to ensure the advice profession moves forward, with decisive and progressive action around policy, professionalism, advocacy and influence at all levels to ensure this journey continues to lay a strong foundation in meeting consumer expectations.”
Anderson will head up the AFA Policy and Professionalism team which now also includes the recently appointed general counsel, Linda Vogel.
He replaces Samantha Clarke, who resigned last month to pursue her established RegTech business.
