Crestone Wealth Management has appointed six new investment advisers to its Brisbane office, focusing on professional advice for high net worth (HNW) and ultra-high net worth (UHNW) Australians.
The new appointments brought the Brisbane office to 21 staff, while the total national adviser base was 91.
The six appointments were:

- Jason Poppi, formerly associate director, NAB Investor Sales;
- Simon Rogers, formerly partner, Perpetual Private;
- Darryl Wasserman, formerly private banker, Westpac Private Bank;
- Shane Fisher, formerly director, global investment services – Westpac Private Bank and St George Private Bank; and

Michael Tritton, head of advisory for NSW, QLD and SA said: “The new advisers are welcome additions to our growing team. Crestone offers global, multi- asset class portfolio construction and management solutions and we are confident the expertise these six advisers possess will complement our existing business and offering.”
Fisher had extensive investment experience across all traditional and alternative asset classes, dealing with boutique and private wealth businesses, private banks, foreign investment banks, HNW clients and family office investors.
