How the last eight years at Aeran have flown by!
We started Aeran with modest expectations as to whether we would make a dent in the entrenched personal injury financial services industry.
We were very pleased to find that lawyers, families, and some trustee company veterans seemed to immediately understand, value, and adopt our offer of something new and better - independent financial advice.
And we have been run off our feet ever since.
Aeran’s launch was well before the Hayne Royal Commission, which highlighted the problems associated with vertical integration – where advisers recommend financial products linked to their parent organisation.
Today, Aeran is a team of more than 20 professionals, trusted each year by hundreds of clients and their families to deliver quality independent advice on the management of well over a billion dollars, and growing, of compensation funds.
A significant number of those clients and families have, with our help, sought the assistance of the courts to free themselves from unsatisfactory prior arrangements, often against resistance from the incumbents.
Though helping those families has been particularly personally rewarding, it's a joy and a privilege to play our part in assisting every one of those we serve.
Thanks to our wonderful clients and their families, their wise lawyers, and our trustee company friends for eight great years.
And now, back to work!
