| # | Network | In top-20 | ARs Sep 2026Individual ARs active at the reference month-end — the ranking metric for this list.✓ A clean headcount of licensed individual brokers.⚠ Counts AR appointments, not distinct people, and size alone says nothing about growth, retention or quality. | ARs Aug 2026The same population, counted with the same rules, at this earlier month-end.✓ Shows the month-by-month path into the current count without leaving the row.⚠ A headcount only — every other column is computed on the latest data. It is taken from the latest register cut, so late registrations and cessations can move it a few off the figure published at the time. | ARs Jul 2026The same population, counted with the same rules, at this earlier month-end.✓ Shows the month-by-month path into the current count without leaving the row.⚠ A headcount only — every other column is computed on the latest data. It is taken from the latest register cut, so late registrations and cessations can move it a few off the figure published at the time. | Mean tenureMean industry (AR-register) tenure of current members, in years.✓ A quick proxy for roster seniority / experience depth.⚠ It is time on the ASIC register — a floor on real experience, since brokers work for years before being registered individually, so a network that appoints seasoned brokers as first-time ARs reads younger than it is. It falls mechanically while a network hires fast, and the mean is pulled by outliers — read it alongside the median. | Median tenureMedian industry (AR-register) tenure — the typical member's time on the register.✓ Robust to outliers — the typical member, not the average.⚠ Carries the same AR-register-age floor as the mean, and it drops as a fast-growing network takes on recent joiners, so a low value need not mean inexperienced. | ≥5y at networkShare of current members with ≥5 years at THIS network (AFSL tenure) — a loyalty / stickiness measure.✓ Shows how much of the roster is genuinely tenured here, not just in the industry.⚠ Mechanically LOW for fast-growing networks — recent joiners swell the denominator, so a low % can mean the network is growing fast, not that it cannot retain. It is structurally 0% for networks younger than 5 years and for one-day re-papering events (e.g. Aviso), and it says nothing about whether the long-stayers are still productive. | 3y growthChange in this population's headcount vs 36 months ago (%).✓ Medium-term trajectory — the multi-year direction.⚠ The % explodes off a small base (2 → 120 reads +5,900%) and is blank if the network did not exist then. It does not separate organic hiring from acquisitions or re-papering — Aviso's +18,400% is a migration off Resilium, not growth. | 6m growthChange in this population's headcount vs 6 months ago (%).✓ Recent momentum — catches turns the 3-year view smooths over.⚠ Volatile for small networks — a single team joining or leaving swings it, so it is a noisier signal than the 3-year figure. | In/Out 12mJoiners ÷ leavers over the last 12 months (>1 growing, <1 shrinking).✓ Direction of travel at a glance.⚠ A ratio hides volume — 3-in / 1-out and 30-in / 10-out both read 3.0. It swings to extremes for low-flow networks (one leaver against several joiners gives a huge number; Aviso 47) and is blank with zero leavers. It is also blind to who moves — gaining juniors while losing seniors can still read >1. | Turnover 12m(Joiners + leavers) ÷ average headcount over 12 months.✓ Total churn intensity relative to size — surfaces disruption the in/out ratio hides.⚠ It does not show direction (heavy two-way churn that nets flat still reads high), is inflated for small networks and by re-papering (Aviso 209%), and high turnover is not automatically bad — a fast-growing magnet churns a lot too. |
