Fastest platform to reach

WealthO2 is a next generation software and service solution that is challenging the long held norms of what a platform should be. We’re on a mission to be the much-needed breath of fresh air for wealth practices by putting the adviser and their client first, increasing efficiency, lowering the cost of advice and providing flexible portfolio management, MDAs, managed accounts and a transparent low-cost superannuation.

Our purpose is to enable more advisers to provide unconflicted advice to more Australians.

We do this by delivering advice-led technology on a simple fee basis with no conflicted investment products or cash or MER clipping … putting more efficiency, and control back in the hands of the adviser. We also help advisers implement scalable, yet tailored advice and more easily demonstrate value to their clients.

We provide a fresh, new alternative for their Super and Pension which is “on HIN” providing greater transparency on the client’s assets. WealthO2’s platform solution uniquely offers legal ownership of cash and assets for investment and SMSF clients.

The technology delivers efficiencies in automation of processes and by way of automated compliance. Our customisable bulk Record of Advice (ROA) generation and integrated client responses through to intraday execution is just one example of compliance innovation.

WealthO2 as a partner enables an adviser practice to grow and be more profitable. We deliver technology and services that enable greater efficiency and scale for the adviser, whilst also allowing for naked pricing shift of margin to advisers and lowering the cost of advice.

If you are frustrated with your current provider the good news is WealthO2 is driving an exciting new era of choice for advisers.
