Risk specialists find Bombora’s approach 'too compelling’ to ignore


Market newcomer, Bombora Advice’s approach to partnering licensees proved irresistible to risk specialists, SME Wealth Protection and RPS Advisory Group.
Bombora managing director, Wayne Handley, said the group was developed to be fundamentally different to the traditional licensee model, and was not “obsessed” with recruiting numbers for the sake of it.
He said the group’s success was not measured by funds under management or adviser numbers.
It was this approach that attracted SME Wealth Protection’s Mike Rollinson to the Bombora model.
“Bombora’s risk specialisation, boutique approach and collegiate environment and infrastructure were too compelling an offer to ignore,” he said.
“These were the very values that most influenced my decision and the benefit to the practice is already being felt with Bombora’s risk specialisation and support services dovetailing seamlessly into SME Wealth Protection’s activities.”
RPS Advisory Group’s Andrew Dwyer said the decision to partner with Bombora had been widely supported by his allies in centres of influence.
“My centres of influence have been overwhelmingly supportive of the move to Bombora as they too acknowledge and appreciate the greater depth of benefit and services RPS Advisory will be able to provide,” he said.
