Ron Jarden

It will be known as Jarden, after its founder, Ron Jarden.

The firm said it wanted to unify under a common purpose and brand.

It offers a range of services within investment banking, capital solutions and wealth services. Its wealth business has grown significantly in recent years to serve more than 50,000 New Zealanders including family trusts, entrepreneurs, iwi groups, farmers and individuals.

The breadth of the firm's capital solutions group has also grown, with investments in 2017 into Principal Investments, which provides access to capital for small to mid-scale companies and their shareholders; and Pearlfisher, which offers non-bank property finance lending. These investments, along with the firm's 2018 acquisitions of OMF and Direct Broking, led to the decision to review the firm’s brand strategy.
