Shaw and Partners  continues strategic pursuit for top-end talent

Australia's premier wealth management firm, Shaw and Partners, continues its strategic pursuit of attracting the finest talent in the industry with the latest addition of a senior advisory team from global investment bank Morgan Stanley in Adelaide.

After successful recruitment endeavours in Perth and Victoria in late 2023, the integration of the RVA Group in Adelaide further fortifies Shaw and Partners' advisory ranks in servicing high net worth clients.

George Deva, Shaw and Partners National Head of Private Wealth, says the move "demonstrates that the highest calibre wealth management professionals continue to choose Shaw and Partners as their home to grow their business and service the evolving advice needs of their clients".

Shaw and Partners SA State Manager Fraser MacLeod ex-tended a warm welcome to the new advisers, emphasising their role in enhancing the company's culture and client offerings. "Our dedication to the Adelaide office has led to an additional long-term investment in our business strengthening our position and presence in the South Australian market," he says.

The latest additions from Morgan Stanley include industry veterans such as former fund manager and Barron's Australia Top 100 Adviser Steve Triantafilidis and stockbroking heavy-weight John Piper.

The team also comprises Matthew White, Scott Daw-son, Andrew Frolow, Oliver Clarke and Khushal Punjabi, all bringing their expertise from Morgan Stanley.

In an industry marked by regulatory shifts, Shaw and Partners stands out as a beacon for top talent, committed to providing holistic advice to clients.

Co-chief executive officer Earl Evans highlights the firm's "genuine partnership approach" with its clients and advisers. "We do our best every day to help our clients achieve their financial objectives, and we have built enormous good-will through our Shaw and Partners Foundation and charitable endeavours, along with many of our sponsorships, which we are truly passionate about," he says.

With a rapidly expanding presence, Shaw and Partners now manages more than $30 billion of funds under advice.

Mr Evans says the firm's comprehensive service offering, robust balance sheet, and engaging culture are all key factors in attracting top advisers.

As Shaw and Partners continues to expand its team in Adelaide, with more than 30 investment advisory professionals and support staff, Mr Evans emphasises the firm's commitment to providing exceptional office environments for both staff and clients.

He anticipates further industry consolidation and high-profile adviser shifts, driven by Shaw and Partners' dedication to meeting experienced advisers across Australia.

"We are incredibly excited about the future of Shaw and Partners both here in SA and across the country," he says.

"Join us on the journey of excellence at Shaw and Partners, where client success and adviser empowerment are at the heart of everything we do."
