Campus to be “beating heart of adviser capability”
FANZ chief executive Nick Hakes (pictured) said Campus marks a step‑change in how advisers build and maintain their skills.
“Campus is designed to be the beating heart of adviser capability in New Zealand,” Hakes said. “It brings together world class executive learning, global professional standards, and the practical, real-life skills advisers need to deliver high quality advice and solve increasingly complex problems for clients in a rapidly changing world.”
As a proof of concept, FANZ has already rolled out several programmes, including an “AI in Advice” certificate completed by 69 advisers, and a Psychology in Practice series aligned with new global behavioural finance CPD requirements.
The expanded Campus will offer additional designations, executive short courses, and research‑driven capability initiatives from 2026.
Legacy Trust funding early‑career advisers
The long‑term strategic partnership with the PAA Legacy Trust provides funding certainty for Campus and extends the Trust’s longstanding focus on adviser development.
