In the announcement made to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), the firm said it would continue the implementation of the new features rolled out in early 2022, including new options for advisers in the way they implemented and managed their clients’ investments.
The firm’s chief executive, Anthony Wamsteker, said the divestment of the firm’s international business continued to plan with agreed transactions terms announced to the ASX on 21 December, 2021.
