Given the Adviser Innovation Summit 2025 falls in the immediate aftermath of the election, our MC will start by contextualising the regulatory implications of the election result. This opening address paints the broad policy directives and specific regulatory frameworks impacting financial advice in the post-election landscape before asking the question: where to from here?
We live in a fracturing world where rising threat levels from geopolitical risk have created an uncertain investing environment. For some, the frequency and severity of geopolitical shocks is reason enough to preference more tangible trends. Others recognise historical patterns in the present and are deploying capital to climb through the chaos. In this session, our panellists will explore innovative approaches to assembling a resilient portfolio. Together, we will:
A torrent of new technologies have assailed the financial advice landscape, tempting advisers to defy logic and integrate more tools in the pursuit of simplicity. But before introducing new layers of complexity, advisers need to optimise the first technologies in their technology-first practices. This session will set the foundations for a coherent tech stack that flexes as your practice evolves.

Transparency, attribution, accountability, and empathy will be crucial determinants of excellence in advice. This session has been designed to take your AI integrations from scramble to strategy. We will explore how increased AI maturity can enhance the qualitative attributes of advice by replenishing the most valuable tool in your arsenal: time. Together, we will:
Innovation is not just about technology – it's about fostering collaborations that enhance the client experience and drive business growth.
