Help translate investment expertise into practical solutions and insights for advisers and clients
Perpetual Wealth Management
The wealth management business consists of three distinct brands in addition to Perpetual Private – Fordham, Jacaranda financial planning and Priority Life – offering a unique mix of wealth management, advice and trustee services. With a diverse range of capabilities including strategic advice on superannuation and retirement planning, general investment, asset protection, insurance, tax management, estate planning, aged care, social security, succession planning and philanthropy. Our clients include individuals, families, businesses, not-for-profit organisations, and Indigenous communities throughout Australia.
As part of an exciting new chapter, Perpetual Wealth will soon become a standalone business as part of the recently announced acquisition by Bain Capital. This creates a unique opportunity to join a business focused on growth, innovation, and delivering exceptional outcomes for clients.
