Excelsuper merges with Oxford Financial Services



Adelaide-based self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) company Excelsuper has extended its financial planning strength via the acquisition of Oxford Financial Services.
The transaction, announced earlier his week, was described by Excelsuper chief executive Chris Harris as a "great fit".
"We identified Oxford as a great fit for Exelsuper as their philosophy has also been built on fierce
independence and uncompromising values," he said.
Harris said ExelSuper had completely integrated the Oxford business into its operations including all directors and advisers.
