We’re pleased to announce that we’re launching the Odyssey Adviser Academy this November. As pretentious as that sounds, the aims are fairly simple: It’s aimed at the less-experienced / new / young up-and-coming adviser. Over the course of a year, we’..

As most of you know, we started our SIPP and SSAS journey barely three years ago, when the sun was still shining, we felt a lot younger, and we were all allowed to share a cup of coffee face to face. Not the same cup, of course, I hasten to add. We remain ..
