FirstWrap hits $4 billion in FUA
Since its launch in 2009, FirstWrap has grown to more than $4 billion in funds under administration.
“We put our success down to listening to our advisers and then making improvements that help them to focus on providing quality advice and running a more efficient business,” said Peter Chun, General Manager Product & Investments, Colonial First State.
FirstWrap is now better than ever
Listening and then responding to what our advisers want means FirstWrap now offers:
Better investment choice: with six term deposit providers, over 300 managed funds and the addition of more than 20 new investment options in 2012, you have more choice than ever before.
Better service: with faster turnaround times, an easier application process and our highly regarded e-Post tool - which allows you to submit requests and scanned forms to us electronically and receive instant confirmation of their receipt – we’re saving you time.
Better direct equities capability: enjoy a fully integrated trading solution with the flexibility of 11 panel brokers, plus access to enhanced equities research including tailored watch lists, interactive charts and the latest company research.
“We look forward to delivering some key enhancements later this year which will make managing listed securities even easier for our advisers” said Peter. “Our goal is simple – to make it as easy as possible to do business with us.”
