Shaw Stockbrocking re-brands, adds advisers



Investment and wealth management firm Shaw Stockbroking announced it is re-branding itself to Shaw and Partners, and have added 15 advisers over the past three months, with more on the way.
The re-branding follows a three-year strategic plan, which included a gradual approach to developing and diversifying its investment business, research and private client advice services.
Shaw and Partners chairman, Paul Masi, said the firm had been focusing on the expansion of the private client adviser business for some time.
"Our priority right now is to ensure we have the right mix of personnel and services for our clients," he said.
The move comes after the firm hired former Macquarie Private Wealth chief executive, Earl Evans, as head of private wealth in March this year.
The firm was close to hiring a new head of institutional business, according to Masi.
Shaw and Partners has offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, and recently opened an office in Adelaide.
The firm has over $8 billion of assets under advice.
