Reviews

Our advisers say it best...

Dane

Michael S.

"Lifestyle provide me with the freedom to work independently, but I know they are only a phone call away when I need help putting together my advice, great place to belong to."

LAM is a very easy licensee to deal with, no continual over burdening of compliance (as opposed to our previous licence – who wanted us to spend more time on compliance than servicing our clients), coupled with a great team always available for assistance. I have found the whole experience to be excellent and it has certainly exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend LAM to other advisers, particularly those advisers aligned with institutions, having the issues I previously had before moving across. The whole process to move was uncomplicated, completed with ease and the group as a whole is professionally managed, offering a wide range of additional benefits and services to their advisers.

  • How does LAM help with regulatory challenges?
    We provide personalised guidance tailored to your unique situation, helping you navigate complex regulations and reduce regulatory fatigue.
  • How often will I connect with the adviser network?
    We host monthly virtual Adviser Advantage sessions where you can earn CPD points. We also host and invite you to approximately 4 industry events through the year plus we host an annual conference.
  • What pricing model does LAM use?
    We use a transparent, flat-fee model that covers training, professional development, knowledge access, and membership in professional associations.
  • How Do I Obtain a Financial Services Licence?
    In Australia, you need a financial services licence (AFSL) to operate a financial services business. The licensing process can be challenging, especially if you're applying for your own AFSL. To qualify, you must demonstrate your competency, have sufficient financial resources, and meet key requirements such as training, compliance, insurance, and dispute resolution. Given the rigorous approval process, many advisers opt to partner with dealer groups like LAM, which offer comprehensive support and simplify the licensing process.
  • How Can I Scale My Practice with Additional Authorised Representatives?
    If you're expanding your team, LAM can help you grow. We provide licensing and additional services like technology support, compliance, paraplanning and cyber security training to streamline your growth.
  • What Support Does LAM Offer Beyond Licensing?
    Beyond licensing, LAM offers a range of integrated services, including compliance, technology support, paraplanning, tax & accounting, lending solutions, property services and investment management —everything you need to create a hollistic client service and grow your practice faster.
  • How Do I Get Started with LAM?
    Becoming an authorised representative with LAM is easy—just reach out to us, and we'll guide you through the process.
