Episode Details

This week’s guest on the Financial Planner Life podcast is Kris Amliwala from Designer Wealth Management. 

Kris fell into the profession; he graduated university with a pharmaceuticals and cosmetic science degree with no interest in moving into financial services. 

However, his family have owned a financial advice practice for over 30 years and, when an employee was unfortunately, ‘let go’, they asked Kris to help until they found a replacement. 

Fast forward 10 years and Kris is still there!

(Some excellent recruitment from the folks!)

Kris talks to me about:

• His route to becoming chartered and why he highly rates the Kinder institute of life planning. 

• Why he became an education champion for the personal finance society.

• How to position yourself as a younger financial planner.

• Why getting stuck into your financial qualifications straight out of university is a great 
strategy. 

• Why Next Gen Financial Planners is a great financial planning community.
