London, 22 July 2013 – Panacea Adviser (Panacea), the online community and resource for directly regulated financial advisers, has launched a microsite dedicated to paraplanners.

Following on from the success of Panacea’s Paraplanning Zone – an area of the site that provides advisers with a centralised access to Paraplanning firms – the Paraplanner microsite has been developed as a dedicated support site specifically for paraplanners. The new site offers a range of articles, services and tools especially designed  to assist with a paraplanner’s day-to-day role and includes technical information and learning materials to help with their professional development.

 Derek Bradley, CEO of Panacea Adviser, commented: 

“As we have settled into the new world, with greater regulation surrounding documentation and accountability, paraplanners have played an increasingly important part in supporting the service offered by advisers. In recognition of this, we are pleased to offer more specific resources to this growing community.

“Designed in conjunction with providers, paraplanners and support services, the new Paraplanner microsite ensures existing planners, as well as those new to the industry have easy and fast access to the tools and information they need. We are confident this site will be popular with our ever-expanding paraplanning users and, in turn, will provide further support to our adviser community.” 

Legal & General's Head of Adviser Proposition for Retail Savings, Nino Sheikh-Thompkins commented:

"Following the successful launch of our own dedicated Paraplanner Hub I am delighted that Panacea have also recognised the importance of paraplanners and have launched their own bespoke paraplanner website".
