In 2013, Financial Standard launched the inaugural Power50 list, a guide to the top 50 financial services professionals who use social media to lead the conversation on wealth management, superannuation and financial advice.
The list is made up of superannuation chief executives, fund managers, investment analysts and financial advisers – representing the broadest cross-section of the financial services industry.
Individuals are selected based on set of guidelines and social metrics analysed by Financial Standard’s Power50 judging and selection panel and we’re thrilled that Amanda Cassar, Director of Wealth Planning Partners has been included in this list for both 2013 and 2014, meaning she has now been named by Financial Standard as one of the top 50 most influential social media users in finance for two years running.
The Guide is distributed annually as a special edition inside the November issue of Financial Standard. To find out more about the 2015 Power 50 Guide, download the latest guide at http://www.financialstandard.com.au/fspower50 .
