Hitting newsstand shelves today, The Adviser will now be available at more than 1,000 outlets across Australia.
The industry is entering a new area of professionalism with the introduction of licensing that will elevate its profile, in particular with new market entrants.
Publisher of The Adviser Jim Hall said the first place new entrants to the industry are likely to look for information is online and in the newsstands, and that The Adviser now had both bases comprehensively covered.
“This is a time of great advancement for the industry and we want to play our role in supporting brokers as licensing comes into force while advocating the opportunities offered by mortgage broking,” he said.
Mr Hall pointed to a parallel between the maturing broking industry and the financial planning industry, which went through the process of licensing in the mid-2000s.
“The financial planning industry is well represented on newsstands and it's high time the broker industry had the same level of exposure.
“We are proud to advocate broking to potential new entrants and feel that newsstand representation will help promote the professionalism of our industry."
