SAPEPAA is alive and well and following our recent SAPEPAA Adviser accreditation at the Gold Coast we have over 15 new members joining the association. The potential in front of us is huge. A good friend of mine Andrew Inwood - who we are trying to secure for the October SAPEPAA conference is CEO of Core Data and has been researching the wealth transfer from the Baby Boomers over the next 25 years. He told me that it is not $3.2B trillion as published by the Productivity Commission but up around $6 trillion+ once you take into account property and business sales - which are not recorded in the Productivity Commission figures.

If you missed it Director Michael Jeffriess poured open his soul last week recounting his brush with death following two heart attacks. It is great viewing or listen and more importantly he acknowledges - SAPEPAA wise he was underprepared. You can watch this moving account here: Always remember this is your association and to see the Victorian chapter have a preparatory get together to discuss issues and client cases is a great initiative. The Board is happy to have other States take the initiative of commencing their chapters and where possible the Board is happy to present by video conference at any meetings. We are all in this together and it is vital to build a strong recognisable name that stands for family wealth protection, quality of advice and also empathy with families.
