Financial artists arrive in Tasmania
Two of Tasmania’s best-regarded financial services firms have merged to form a new fee-for-service business, Aequis.
Doug Davey and Rod Scurrah of Davey & Scurrah and Ian Ritchie of Ritchie & Associates have spent the past 18-months developing the business model for Aequis, which will be officially launched in Hobart today. The three have worked together for the past 20 years.
Scurrah said that operating as a true fee-for-service business will enable Aequis advisers to focus on tailoring advice to meet clients’ individual needs.
“Our philosophy is to provide high-quality financial advice addressing all of our clients’ needs, working with them and maintaining a productive relationship through every stage of their lives.”
Scurrah said Aequis’ artistic branding, which incorporates themes of nature, is designed to reflect the firm’s dedication to perfecting “the art of advice”.
Aequis opens its doors to clients on Monday May 5 at its new premises in Hobart’s Rosny Park.
