IOOF releases mobile information service
Financial planners can now access IOOF Holdings' (IOOF's) information services on the go after it launched its Fast Fact Finder website.
Advisers can access recent legislation, tax rates and thresholds, aged care, superannuation, insurance and social security via the Fast Fact Finder from their smart-phone, laptop or tablet.
The website is the first initiative of IOOF's AdviserConnect program which launched today and aims to offer participating advisers support services, educational tools and strategies to grow their businesses.
The program is designed to give advisers access to guidance in technical services, business training, adviser marketing and practice management.
IOOF general manager of distribution Renato Mota said advisers could customise the company's solutions to meet their business' needs.
"Our goal is to assist advisers as they take their business to the next level by implementing real world solutions and [take advantage] of IOOF's scale as a business partner … The aim of IOOF AdviserConnect is to give advisers exactly what they want - more time with clients and the tools to engage them," he said.
