Macquarie Private Wealth grows its financial advice numbers
Macquarie Private Wealth has declared the degree to which it is seeking to grow its financial advice footprint, announcing that, in the past six months, it has added 13 new advisers across six of its state offices.
Angela Hayward, Tom Maxwell, Mark O'Flynn and Steven Menyweather have all been appointed private client advisers for the Brisbane team, while Katerina Gagliostro and Wesley Hui have joined the office as associate advisers.
Macquarie's Perth and Adelaide branches have appointed Allie Clarke and Frank Zappia as associate advisers to their respective offices. Adelaide has also Michael Sanderson as a senior private wealth manager.
Joel Wright will be located in Manly, while Tony Gaudry will work in Canberra, as they both take on senior private client adviser roles.
Meanwhile, also taking on private client adviser roles, Danny Chiu and Simon Vanstone have been appointed to Macquarie's Sydney team.
Eric Schimpf, head of Macquarie Private Wealth, said the firm was committed to appointing associate advisers in particular because they could work closely with more experienced advisers to receive training and to add to their skills.
"It is our duty to invest in both the growth of our more experienced team and our trainee advisers who will lead the industry into the future," he said.
