Financial Advice Providers Industry snapshot

The data in the Financial Advice Provider Industry snapshot dashboard is derived from the Financial Advice Provider regulatory returns. The dashboard provides valuable insights into what types of products are being advised on as well as the way customers are receiving that advice. The FMA will use the data to help shape the way we supervise and engage with the sector going forward.

Navigating the FAP regulatory return dashboard

  • The dashboard is organised into ten sections: Cover, introduction, important information, overview, business and infrastructure, licenced activity, complaints, outsourcing, business continuity and information security, and year on year comparison.
  • Use the left and right arrows located on the bottom navigation bar to move through sections sequentially.
  • Alternatively, you may select a specific section by clicking on page number on the navigation bar.
  • Each section allows you to filter data by reporting year and licence class.
