Financial advice career pulling a younger crowd

David Greenslade, director of training provider Strategi says at the end of April more than 100 people who are mostly new to the industry enrolled to do the New Zealand Certificate in Financial Services (Level 5) version two - NZCFS5(v2).

“This is indicating there is a significant number of people out there who are considering financial advice as a career.”

He says the average age of the newcomers is slightly younger than in the previous two years–dropping from 42 to 36.

“The age coming down is a good sign for the industry and really positive.”
