Macquarie joins OpenInvest


Self-directed investors will now have access to Macquarie Investment Management following the firm’s decision to join online investment marketplace, OpenInvest.
Macquarie would join other firms already established on OpenInvest like Schroders, Shaw and Partners, SG Hiscock and JBWere.
Co-founder and chief executive officer of OpenInvest, Andrew Varlamos, said the investment management industry has the expertise and experience to assist self-directed investors who are perhaps scorned by untrustworthy advisers.
“In a post Royal Commission environment, there are even more investors who want help with their investments, but don’t know who they can trust or where they can go to find the professional assistance they need,” said Varlamos.
