Snowball Group has continued to expand its corporate super business, acquiring the corporate super business of Thornton Group. The business is based in Adelaide and has approximate $28 million of funds under advice.
Snowball has not taken on any employees of Thornton Group in the acquisition. The business will be run by staff from the newly-acquired corporate super business Hood Sweeney, also based in Adelaide. Hood Sweeney was acquired in early March. The business will run under Snowball’s subsidiary, Outlook Financial Solutions.
“This transaction builds on our presence in the Adelaide corporate superannuation market following the recent acquisition of Hood Sweeney and reflects our desire to be recognised as the pre-eminent provider of corporate solutions to Australian companies and their employees,” said Snowball managing director Tony McDonald.
