Fidante Adviser Markets Survey
June 2025
What sectors are advisers bullish or bearish on? Where do they intend to allocate funds? What are their concerns for the next 6 months? These were some of the burning questions we posed to our adviser community.
As one of Australia’s largest active investors, Fidante has had a deep and long-standing relationship with Australia’s financial advice community. In April 2025, during heightened volatility following President Trump’s tariff announcements, we surveyed 174 financial advisers on the current opportunities and challenges for investment markets and where they were planning to allocate client funds in the coming six months.

“The markets reacted strongly to the US tariff announcements, triggering sharp swings in investor sentiment both globally and locally. This was an unexpected jolt, but advisers largely stayed the course with the majority expecting client allocations to Australian and US equities to remain steady as they assessed how volatility would play out.
Markets have since rebounded and this instinct to remain disciplined has proven correct. It reinforces the value of financial advice in helping investors navigate market uncertainty and to ensure their portfolios are protected across market cycles.”
