AUSTRALIAN BROKING AWARDS

These prestigious awards identify the leading women across financial services, from business leaders, mentors and skilled investment managers to client-centric accountants, financial advisers and mortgage brokers.
Ranking
TOP 25 BROKERAGES
The Top 25 Brokerages was established in 2009 as The Adviser’s first ranking. It was designed to highlight the achievements of the top brokerages across Australia. The rankings are determined by scores in five key areas, based on the financial year: total book size, total loans settled, total volume of loans settled, book size versus years in business and average broker volumes for the financial year. These five scores are then added to give a final overall score. The lower the score, the better the ranking.
Webcasts
With its own in-house studio, The Adviser uses live-streaming technology to produce and distribute webcasts to audiences around Australia. These enable partners to expand their audience reach through informative, engaging and interactive content. Audiences can watch live on any device and interact through a live chat.
The Adviser’s Reports, Powered by Agile Market Intelligence
THIRD-PARTY LENDING REPORT
The Third-Party Lending Report gives lenders visibility on the perceptions of their business in direct comparison to those within their competitive set. Momentum Intelligence’s clients use this report as a diagnostic competitive analysis tool to help understand mortgage brokers’ perceptions of their business to guide their operational and strategic focus.
PRODUCT OF CHOICE: NON-BANK
The Adviser’s Broker Product of Choice is designed to give brokers the opportunity to choose which of the non-bank lenders they think provide the best products across various market segments. This knowledge of the product landscape helps us to determine which lenders are offering the best products for your clients.
