Ord Minnett launches Tas office


Wealth management group Ord Minnett has opened a new office in Hobart, Tasmania, led by Luke Rybarczyk, senior investment adviser and branch manager.
“Ord Minnett was the right choice for our clients given a strong history of servicing a wide range of private clients large and small,” Rybarczyk said.
“Ords has a proud history and heritage of service excellence and is well known for their quality domestic research having been awarded ‘Number 1 Emerging Company Research’ in recent years. I strongly feel the all-round offering for clients is second to none.”
The Hon. Warwick Smith AO, Ord Minnett chair and Tasmanian native, said the new office was an opportunity to expand the firm’s national footprint.
“Importantly, Ord Minnett is delighted to be able to provide clients in Tasmania access to Ords’ trusted and professional wealth management advice and services,” Smith said.
