PA Asks: Will consolidation make it harder for the next generation of advisers?

In this week's PA Asks, we want your view on whether consolidation will make it harder for the next generation of advisers to move into owner-director roles.

Also in PA Asks this week:

  • Does rewarding advisers on size of book encourage the right behaviours?
  • How much business support do you get from your BDM?
  • Are you increasing clients' exposure to private markets?

Take part in the weekly poll here

Please note this poll will close on Friday, 18 July.
