ASX Release
27 October 2015
HUB24 signs white label partnership with Fortnum
Agreement expected to result in the transfer of over $600 million
Industry‐leading investment and superannuation platform provider HUB24 (ASX: HUB) have signed an agreement to partner with Fortnum Financial Group (Fortnum).
Fortnum, an independently‐owned dealer group with around 100 advisers across 34 practices in Australia, has approximately $3.4 billion in funds under advice. The deal enables Fortnum’s advisers to access HUB24’s optimal investment administration solution for both current and new clients, allowing the group to focus on providing its comprehensive dealer services.
Under the arrangement, a new white label will be developed with final agreements to be signed involving the e‐Clipse Unified Managed Account and e‐Clipse Super services, which together currently hold around $650 million on behalf of Fortnum’s principal practices. The services are expected to be transferred to the HUB24 platform in the first half of 2016, subject to necessary approvals.
The white label platform will include both superannuation and investor directed portfolio services (IDPS) with fully integrated custodial and non‐custodial assets ‐ all supported by HUB24’s superior, consolidated reporting and transaction solutions.
HUB24 Managing Director Andrew Alcock said: “This is a great alignment for Fortnum and HUB24, where a high quality advice group has chosen a next generation wealth management platform that offers unbiased choice and market‐leading technology.
“We are making tremendous progress in building a sustainable pipeline of growth opportunities for the business. HUB24’s selection mirrors the demand we are experiencing for our leading‐edge platform. This is proving to be an attractive offering that is disrupting the Australian wealth management industry.
“The deal is further endorsement of why HUB24 is the platform of choice for independently‐minded advisers. We are looking forward to working with Fortnum’s advisers and the ongoing growth of e‐ Clipse,” Mr Alcock said.
Sal Torrisi, Head of e‐Clipse Online said the group’s partnership with HUB24 would release Fortnum to devote greater resources to servicing existing advisers and recruiting new advisers. It would also help e‐Clipse generate scale.
