Infocus points to member growth
Dealer group, Infocus has confirmed that 14 advisory businesses have joined the group over the past 10 months.
In a statement released today, the dealer group said the most recent advisory groups to join the business were Complete Wealth in Canberra, together with Western Australian businesses, Securitas Financial Group and Merideon Wealth Strategies.
It attributed the growth to the return of Infocus founder, Darren Steinhardt as managing director.
Steinhardt said the company’s growth had been both strategic and organic as advisers sought prudent licensee alternatives in the face of the Royal Commission.
