Stephen van Eyk: Universally acknowledged as the master of research, van Eyk, the managing director of van Eyk Research, holds the fate of many a fund manager in the palm of his hand. When van Eyk gives a rating, advisers sit up and listen — and fund flows follow.

Kerr Neilson: As the head of one of the most innovative funds management groups, Neilson has changed the face of investment management in Australia. Neilson and his team at Platinum still feature heavily in discussions about investment style and performance long after the novelty should have worn off, and the inflows just keep coming.

Barry Lambert: As the head of the third largest dealer group in the country, Lambert could have been satisfied with just building Count into a successful and profitable business. But he is also not afraid to lead and voice his views on big picture issues, with his moves on professional indemnity and membership of the Financial Planning Association this year watched closely by others.

Paul Resnik: Through his consultancy, high media profile and other activities, Resnik maintains his role as a passionate advocate and ‘provocateur’ on industry issues, such as advice models and lifestyle financial planning.

Tom Collins: Another consultant and commentator, Collins continues to challenge traditional thinking in the financial planning arena.

Paul Clitheroe: The man who brings financial planning to the masses has this year been appointed chair of the National Consumer and Financial Literacy Taskforce.

Jim Stackpool: Stackpool has the ear of dealer groups at the grassroots level through his management consulting work on financial planning business models and client services.
