FNZ to build advice platform for FirstCape

FNZ and FirstCape have deepened their strategic partnership, reflecting a shared focus on supporting advice-led wealth management through technology enabled platforms in New Zealand.

Building on the partnership announced last year, the expanded relationship will see FNZ build, migrate and operate a core platform supporting FirstCape’s wealth and advice businesses in New Zealand, including JBWere New Zealand, Harbour Asset Management and Consilium. The partnership creates a long-term foundation to support integration, operational efficiency and improved client outcomes across the group.

The partnership coincides with the launch of FNZ Select, FNZ’s premium service proposition for its most strategically important relationships, of which FirstCape is amongst the first to experience.

Malcolm Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of FirstCape, said: “Our partnership with FNZ supports our approach to continuing to invest in capability and technology that helps advisers deliver high‑quality outcomes for clients across our businesses. It underpins our commitment to ensuring clients are at the centre of everything we do, as we continue to deliver high‑quality wealth and asset management solutions.”
