IPO Wealth Holdings, trading as Mayfair 101 Holdings, has appointed Cor Cordis as its voluntary administrators, following a freeze in redemptions in April.

“The voluntary administration process provides an opportunity for the assets of the company to be preserved while restructuring options are canvassed. We will also be undertaking a thorough investigation into the company’s asset holdings and use of funds,” Kirk said.
