Gains - Multiple Dates (Adviser Fast Facts - Dashboard 2B)
This week we highlight gains filtered over 1 year. We have added a ‘Previous Year’ comparison. The chart is based on licensee owners only. The dashboard does include individual licensees which members can access.

The chart shows AIA with the highest gains. AIA started from zero with advisers from CBA and therefore, the previous year is showing zero (no change). Count Group up by 32 compared to (-11) the previous year. ASVW Holdings, a relatively new group, going strong up 23 and was up by 6 the previous year. Oreana up by 17 and had a very strong previous year of plus 28.

*Note: This week, number of gains and losses do appear to negate each other exactly. However, the weekly net result is a loss of (-4) advisers. This occurs regularly and we get asked as why the ‘math’ does not always add up. It is due to the reporting period which allows licensees up to 30 days to report advisers appointed and resigned. For example, Licensee ABC appoints 4 advisers from Licensee XYZ. Licensee ABC reports the gains immediately but Licensee B does not. This would show Licensee ABC up plus 4 and XYZ no change. Overall the number of actual advisers has not changed (will show the 4 advisers as authorised at more than 1 licensee),and our weekly change would be zero. The reverse would also be true, i.e. Licensee XYZ reporting the losses early (-4) and Licensee ABC slow to report the gains. This would show a net weekly loss of (-4) and if in the following week ABC reports the gains, it would show ABC and our weekly reporting a gain of 4. Hope this makes sense.
