Macquarie Private Wealth appoints five specialists for Perth unit

Australian wealth manager expands due to growing demand in the Western Australian capital.

Macquarie Private Wealth has appointed five private wealth specialists to its Perth office, according to local press reports.

Ian Walters, Wilfred Ong, Graydon Hanly and Jon Matsen were appointed private client advisers in the stockbroking team. These appointees have more than 20 years experience across margin lending, equity trading and blue chip portfolio management. Risk management specialist, Sean Keady, has also been appointed private wealth manager in the Perth office.

Rob Johnston, state manager at Macquarie Private Wealth Western Australia, said the expansion was a result of more Perth investors seeking advice. "As the demand from personal investors in Western Australia continues to increase, Macquarie Private Wealth needs to ensure it has an experienced and skilled team in Perth that is adequately resourced to meet their needs," he said.

Macquarie's Private Wealth division has nearly 50 advisers providing tailored advice solutions on a range of products and services.
