On Wednesday 5th September, more than 200 high net worth Shaw and Partners’ clients gathered at Vue de Monde for the annual Melbourne client function. It was a hugely successful event, showcasing Shaw and Partners as a very high-end, premium financial services provider.

Situated on level 55 of Melbourne’s iconic Rialto Tower, Vue de Monde restaurant boasts sweeping views over the Melbourne city scape and beyond.

Clients heard from Hon Peter Costello AC, former Treasurer of Australia and Chairman of Future Fund Board of Guardians. Mr Costello spoke about Australia’s economic and political outlook.

Celebrity chef Shannon Bennett cooked for the guests at the exclusive function treating them to a myriad of mouth-watering culinary delights including pickled Moreton Bay bugs, Burnham Beeches crudités, tempura Mark Eather sand whiting, David Blackmore bresaola, grilled David Blackmore Wagyu and Vue de Monde lamingtons.

During the evening $6,000 was raised for Fight MND, with the Shaw and Partners Foundation contributing a generous $6,000 to round out a total donation of $12,000.  Fight MND was established with the purpose of finding effective treatments and ultimately a cure for Motor Neurone Disease. https://fightmnd.org.au

The event comes off the back of the Shaw and Partners’ Sydney Retail Client event, held in early August at Rockpool Bar and Grill, with guest speakers Justin Ryan, Managing Partner at Quadrant Private Equity and Neil Perry, celebrity Chef and Restaurateur.
