Wealth Plus Solutions and three other practices join Genesys Wealth Advisers.

AMP yesterday announced that Wealth Plus Solutions and three other financial planning practices have joined Genesys Wealth Advisers.

Wealth Plus Solutions has 11 advisers across its two offices in Perth and Adelaide.

Genesys Wealth Advisers Managing Director Paul Robertson said the Wealth Plus Solutions team is a good professional and cultural fit with Genesys, sharing a passion for quality financial advice and helping more Australians secure their financial futures.

“We look forward to partnering with this dynamic practice to help them achieve their plans for growth,” Mr Robertson said

“Genesys is committed to helping practices achieve their growth ambitions, and providing the resources and support required to help them build their business.”

Wealth Plus Solutions Principal Robert Crane said Genesys offered them a compelling support program to help them grow their business.

“Finding a licensee that could support our growth needs was of upmost importance and with financial advice at its heart we know the interests of our advisers and clients are well-represented with Genesys,” Mr Crane said.

Mr Crane added: “Genesys offers a strong value proposition and our advisers and clients will benefit from being supported by a group with the size, scale and resources of AMP.”

Genesys’ strong growth and succession offering also appealed to Melbourne-based practices Rancie McLean, Frontier Financial Group and Palmer Financial, who have also recently joined Genesys Wealth Advisers.

Mr Robertson said Genesys’ focus is on helping advisers grow their revenue and profit, both organically and through managed growth such as sourcing client bases and tapping into in-house support programs.

Mr Robertson was formerly CEO of Tynan Mackenzie and was instrumental in ensuring a successful merger of the business with ipac in December 2012.

Prior to heading up Tynan Mackenzie, Mr Robertson was National Manager of the AXA Financial Advice Network and before that led AXA Financial Planning.

Commenting on Mr Robertson’s appointment, Mr Waddell said: “Since joining the group in 2003, Paul has enjoyed a distinguished career and earned a reputation as a very capable and results focussed leader.”

In his new role, effective 21 January 2013, Mr Robertson will be focussed on continuing the roll out of Genesys Evolution, a revised value proposition for member firms that captures the benefits of a closer alignment with the AMP Group.

Mr Waddell said AMP’s current Managing Director Genesys Wealth Advisers John Saint has made a significant contribution to the business, leading Genesys through a time of unprecedented industry change and we thank John for the dedication he has shown to the group.

“We’re pleased, that following John’s decision to leave Genesys, we’ve been able to appoint a strong internal candidate to the role which demonstrates the value of sound succession planning,” Mr Waddell said.

Genesys Wealth Advisers is a licensee of AMP’s Financial Advice Network.
