Viridian Financial Group expands footprint with Infinity Capital Solutions, a dedicated offering for Australian financial advisers
Viridian Financial Group Limited (VFGL) is delighted to announce the launch of Infinity Capital Solutions (ICS), a specialised division aimed at strengthening its presence and collaboration with advisory firms throughout Australia. Leveraging its well-established legacy in the advisory sector, ICS is committed to providing a comprehensive range of solutions to empower financial advisers and cater to the continuously evolving demands of the industry.
Dual structure: Viridian Advisory and Infinity Capital Solutions
Emerging in 2015 from a pioneering team in the Australian financial advice sector, VFGL has consistently held a reputation as a trusted and innovative advisory firm within Australia. The recent transformation into a dual-structured entity, complete with distinct Australian Financial Services Licenses (AFSLs) for Viridian Advisory and Infinity Capital Solutions, represents a significant milestone for VFGL.
The introduction of ICS firmly establishes VFGL as a rapidly growing and innovative presence within the Australian financial industry. Joint CEO of Viridian Financial Group, Glenn Calder, reflects, “This marks a significant stride forward for the firm. Infinity Capital Solutions aligns seamlessly with our mission to offer a comprehensive suite of services that cater to the evolving needs of advisers, clients, and the financial sector as a whole.”
ICS’s deep-rooted expertise and Four Solution Offerings
A key advantage of ICS lies in its solid foundation and deep understanding of the Australian financial advice sector, coupled with its insight into the distinct requirements of financial advice firms. ICS is set to serve a diverse clientele, spanning financial advisers, advisory firms, high-net-worth families, wholesale clients, and nonprofit organisations.
Infinity Capital Solutions presents itself through four distinctive solution offerings:
- Infinity Asset Management (IAM): Delivering institutional-grade investment solutions encompassing diverse asset classes, including Australian equities and multi-sector portfolios. These portfolios are overseen by an experienced team with over a decade’s expertise in running managed accounts.
- Infinity Portfolio Management (IPM): Tailoring to wholesale clients through personalised Individually Managed Accounts (IMAs), featuring custom investment strategies backed by ICS’s robust resources.
- Infinity Digital (ID): Fusing digital tools with human interaction, ID equips advisory firms with engagement tools that elevate operational efficiency, security, and client relationships through innovative UX, UI, and data security solutions.

Con Koromilas appointed as Head of Distribution for Infinity Capital Solutions
To build the capability of this new entity, VFGL also welcomes Con Koromilas as the Head of Distribution for Infinity Capital Solutions. Koromilas, a seasoned investment management professional, will play a pivotal role in shaping the distribution strategy for the broader advice market. Koromilas takes on this role following a successful fifteen-year tenure at abrdn, where he most recently served as Head of Wholesale – Australia.
Empowering through technology and ISO Accreditation
At the heart of VFGL’s dual-structured approach lies a substantial investment in technology, fortified by VFGL’s ISO 27001 accreditation—an exceptional achievement within the financial advisory sphere. ISO 27001 is a globally recognised certification for Information Security Management.
This accomplishment underscores VFGL’s enduring commitment to implementing industry best practices and consistently enhancing its information security management system. The accreditation emphasises VFGL’s resolve to manage cyber risks in a landscape fraught with escalating threats, setting a high standard for fellow advisory firms to aspire to.
Glenn Calder remarks, “Since our inception in 2015, VFGL has played an active role in shaping the Australian advisory landscape. The introduction of Infinity Capital Solutions underscores our commitment to providing innovative solutions, expert guidance, and a substantial investment in technology. This strategic emphasis on technology enables VFGL to enhance operational efficiency and offer clients more sophisticated and accessible solutions.”
