Why are Australians who get financial advice more upbeat?

Money doesn’t buy happiness, but having a financial adviser by your side just might.

New research from CFS shows that Australians who receive financial advice feel more confident and optimistic about their money than those who go it alone. And contrary to popular belief, it’s not necessarily because they’re earning more.*

Colonial First State commissioned research to find out about Australians’ understanding of super and investments, and how confident they felt about their money. The survey generated responses from almost 2,000 Australians who have a financial adviser and 700 who haven’t had professional financial advice.
