Centrepoint continues to make significant progress in executing its strategy to become the most respected non-aligned financial services provider in Australia with the acquisition of a strategic interest in RFE. This investment further signifies Centrepoint’s preparedness to support the growth of professional advice firms.
RFE’s business focuses on supporting accountants and mortgage brokers in providing wealth advice to their clients. The funds invested will be used to accelerate the already strong organic growth the business is experiencing.
Centrepoint Alliance’s Managing Director, John de Zwart, said, “RFE have developed a strong team and proven business model. By partnering with the financial and other resources of Centrepoint, we jointly felt we could accelerate growth. Centrepoint sees a very exciting future for professional advice firms and we are prepared to support and invest in businesses seeking to grow.”
RFE CEO, Peter Rheinberger, said, “Centrepoint was the logical choice for us. We have a strong cultural alignment and logically they had the resources and appetite we needed to execute on our strategy. RFE Group has had a long standing relationship with Centrepoint and knew it was a team we could trust and rely upon. They provide excellent professional services and advice, and this has never been more evident than when executing this deeper partnership. We are very pleased to have their support. We have some big goals and the RFE team is excited to have Centrepoint’s support to achieve them.”
