Perpetual Wealth Management recruits five new senior financial advisers

Perpetual Wealth Management, one of Australia’s most established wealth managers, has announced the recruitment of five new senior financial advisers to the business.

Michael Innes and Antony Pupovac will join the Private Clients team in Queensland as Partners in May, while Sandra Kent and Laura Bosman will join the Private Clients team in Western Australia as Senior Financial Advisers later this month.

Patrick Malone has recently joined as a Partner leading Priority Life, a specialist risk advisory business that is part of Perpetual Wealth Management.

Perpetual Wealth Management Chief Executive Mark Smith said: “As one of Australia’s premier providers of multi-disciplinary wealth management services for high net worth clients, we’re thrilled to have such great talent joining our business and welcome this group of advice professionals to Perpetual.

“The depth and breadth of their experience and skillset, coupled with our strong and dedicated existing teams will play an important role in the continued growth and success of our business.”

Managing Partner Private Clients, Andrew Baker said: “Our business is focused on the comprehensive needs of clients including individuals, families, business owners, professionals and community organisations across a range of areas including strategic and investment advice, trustee services, accounting, business advisory and philanthropic solutions.”

“Michael, Antony, Sandra, Laura, and Patrick bring a wealth of experience to our teams. Their diverse backgrounds and skillsets, together with their clear focus on quality client outcomes will seamlessly complement our existing teams serving clients across the country.”

Sandra and Laura will further strengthen Perpetual’s ‘Advice for Women, by Women’ program. Launched in October 2024, the program focuses on the comprehensive and unique financial needs and goals of women by building a supportive and inclusive advice program. Close to 60% of Wealth Management’s advice team are women, and women represent approximately 40% of the business’ client groups.

As at 31 March 2025, Perpetual Wealth Management had more than $21 billion in Funds Under Advice. This included net inflows of $0.9 billion during the March quarter.

“Our business has grown year-on-year for the past decade and the industry is well-placed to grow, which will make high-quality advice more important than ever. We are always looking for exceptional people to join the firm,” said Mr Smith.
