BT Wrap retains SFG Australia
BT Financial Group has retained SFG Australia - the result of the merger between Shadforths and Snowball - on its BT Wrap platform.
The company confirmed retention of the big planning group today, with BT Financial Group general manager of adviser distribution Chris Freeman saying it reflected the strength of the company's longstanding relationship with both Shadforths and Snowball.
"We are delighted the merged company sees merit in continuing to utilise the services of BT Wrap," he said.
Freeman said both Shadforths and Snowball had enjoyed 13-year relationships with Asgard and that the arrangements would continue under the agreement.
SFG Australia managing director Tony Fenning said the agreement reflected the group's strategy of sourcing best of breed advice implementation solutions.
