Iress has announced the extension of its long-standing relationship with Capital Haus, continuing to provide the advice technology solutions that have supported the firm’s rapid growth and expansion ambitions.

Capital Haus is an Australian financial advice and wealth management group with a global perspective, supporting clients across Australia and international markets including Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The business has expanded its footprint through strategic acquisitions, bringing together advice practices and specialist businesses to create a scaled advice offering.

Iress’ core advice technology platform, Xplan, has supported Capital Haus throughout its evolution from a small independent financial advice practice to a fast-growing, multi-office advice group. The continued use of the platform will provide a technology foundation for the business as it scales its operations and pursues further growth.

Iress General Manager, Customer Distribution, Kerry Ong, said: “Capital Haus is a great example of how technology can support a business through every stage of its growth journey. The Capital Haus team has demonstrated a clear vision for the future, and we’re proud that Xplan has evolved alongside the business – providing the flexibility, capability and reliability needed as they expand through acquisition and continue to strengthen their advice offering.

“We look forward to continuing to support Capital Haus and its advisers with the technology foundation they need to scale effectively and deliver great outcomes for their clients.”

Capital Haus Founder and Executive Chairman, Brendan Gow, said: “Our journey has always been about building a business that enables advisers to deliver high-quality advice and better outcomes for clients. As we’ve grown, having the right technology partner has been critical to supporting our ambitions.

“Iress has been an important part of that journey, providing not only market-leading technology through Xplan, but a strategic partnership that understands our business and supports us as we scale, integrate new businesses and continue to evolve our advice offering.

“Having a technology platform that is flexible, reliable and built for growth gives us the confidence to continue expanding while maintaining the quality of service our advisers and clients expect.”

The extended relationship reinforces Iress’ commitment to supporting advice businesses with technology that enables growth, efficiency and better client outcomes.

Equity Story Group appoints Brendan Gow as Executive Chairman, signalling expansion in advice sector

Sun, 30 Mar 2025 20:05:04 +0000

Equity Story Ltd. (ASX: EQS), the ASX-listed financial media and investment advisory firm, announced today that Brendan Gow, Founder and CEO of Capital Haus, the Sydney and Dubai-based wealth management firm, would assume the role of Executive Chairman of the company.

The move follows Capital Haus’ acquisition of an 11.6% strategic stake in Equity Story earlier in March and aligns with Equity Story’s broader strategy to expand its presence across private wealth and funds management, while actively pursuing M&A opportunities both in Australia and internationally.

Brendan Gow launched Capital Haus in Sydney in 2022 as an exclusive, high-touch wealth management solution and has since overseen the firm’s rapid expansion to include offices in Dubai, Zurich and Townsville.

The partnership strengthens both firms’ ability to provide premium investment insights and private equity access to sophisticated investors. As Executive Chairman of Equity Story, Gow will replace Ross Landles, who will move to a consultancy role. Gow will work closely with CEO Shane White and Executive Director & Founder David Tildesley to marry Equity Story’s expertise in market analysis with Capital Haus’ wealth management experience to build a new financial advice leader.

Brendan Gow, Founder and CEO of Capital Haus, Executive Chairman of Equity story, said: “Equity Story has a loyal client base and outstanding reputation for market analysis, and I feel privileged to be joining the leadership team of this respected brand. Our two companies share a strong alignment and will work together to offer ‘do it yourself’, ‘do it with you’ and ‘do it for you’ investment advisory services.

“Drawing on Capital Haus’ work for high-touch, HNW clients, I believe there is an opportunity for Equity Story to be a unique research-driven financial advisory powerhouse, and I look forward to working with Shane and David to realise this ambition.

Shane White, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, Equity Story, said: “Our new alignment with Capital Haus, including Brendan’s appointment, represents an exciting new chapter for Equity Story, enabling us to double down on what we do best and re-energise our offering in the wealth management sector.

“Brendan has an exceptional reputation in the market and is the perfect appointment to guide our next stage of growth.”
