Hillross partners on Macquarie Wrap offer
AMP-backed Hillross has announced today that it has partnered with Macquarie Adviser Services to expand its platform offering to its financial advisers with the addition of Definitive Wrap Solution, a version of the Macquarie Wrap, which will be available from June 1.
Announcing the move, Hillross managing director John McMurdo said the initiative followed a six-month successful trial within one of Hillross’ advisory firms.
He said Definitive Wrap Solution would provide Hillross advisers with access to a broad range of investment options across the major asset classes, including an extensive list of wholesale managed funds, Australian Securities Exchange listed securities, a cash hub, term deposits and integrated definitive wraps.
