RI Advice expands further into Perth


ANZ-owned RI Advice Group has recruited another practice to its network, this time adding Perth-based firm The Wealth Designers.
Led by Troy MacMillan, the practice has two offices and approximately $120 million in funds under management.
“What we found at RI was a dealer group that wanted to support our business growth. They understood our strategy and there was a cultural alignment with a ‘client-centric’ approach,” MacMillan said.
RI Advice Group has grown from about 200 to 257 advisers in the last 12 months, across its 125 member firms.
It has also recently introduced additional dealer group staff in Perth to provide support for advisers based in Western Australia.
