Hillross Managing Director Hugh Humphrey said the appointments were an important step for Hillross as it pushed forward with its growth strategy.

“As affluent clients can have more complex needs, our practices value localised, accessible support from Hillross. We are confident we now have the capacity and scalable resources to broaden our adviser network across the country.

“Our investment in these newly created roles highlights our commitment to our face-to-face adviser network and ensures they have access to local expert knowledge to help them grow their businesses and realise their ambition.

”The 12 adviser network roles are based in Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Sydney, with a larger team in Melbourne to support South Australia and Tasmania. One of the Brisbane based roles has been filled by AXA’s former Investment Research Manager, Hamish Trumbull, who now takes on the role of Business Partnership Manager in Queensland.

Mr Humphrey said Trumbull’s appointment was a good example of how the benefits of bringing AXA and AMP together can create new opportunities for employees within the merged entity.
