Capstone Financial Planning aims to boost adviser numbers by 10 per cent this year, although it will maintain a selective recruitment approach, according to managing director Grant O’Riley.
Capstone acquired three new practices in the last quarter of 2009 that fit its model of “measured and deliberate growth,” O’Riley said.
Referring to Capstone’s resilience during the global financial crisis, O’Riley said, “Our recruitment strategy during the past eight years has provided high calibre professional advisers to our network who have continued to develop their businesses during this difficult time".
He said part of Capstone’s plans for the next 12 months would be to review and modify its support structure to best meet adviser needs.
