Titanium extends its footprint along the east coast
Financial services dealer group Titanium Financial Planners has increased the number of practices it has to 33 with the addition of eight offices in New South Wales and Victoria over the space of a week.
The four-year-old dealer group, which operates a ‘one-stop shop’ encompassing financial planning, mortgage broking, real estate and asset management, is looking to take its business nationally, initially establishing its presence along the east coast with the aim to have 50 practices by the end of the year.
Titanium distribution manager Mark Finch said the group was currently in discussion with a further 10 practices.
“We are being contacted by planners from all areas of the advice market, which really shows they are looking for a dealer group that is flexible but is also able to give them the product and services they need to run a business,” Finch said.
