Majority of financial advisors said that they have seen a major setback in their business due to TER cut and rationalisation in commission.
Post rationalization in TER, many IFAs claim that while they get close to 80 bps trail commission on assets mobilized after 2015, they get between 15 and 30 bps on assets built before 2015.
‘How was 2019 for your business?’ asked a poll run on Cafemutual.com.
Close to 2120 IFAs participated in the opinion poll. Of these IFAs, 54% or 1145 IFAs said that they saw a decline in their business growth.
However, 615 IFAs or 29% of the total respondents said that despite all the noise, they witnessed a growth in their business.
Just 360 or 17% distributors feel that there was no impact of any event of 2019 in their business.
Here is the snapshot of the opinion poll result.
