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.
