Netwealth has expanded its agreement with Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Australia to provide a platform solution for ASX-listed equities and domestic investments. This major win comes on the back of recent investments in technology and product offerings, including the launch of Netwealth Private and integrated iHIN capability.

Advisers will continue to manage relationships, but the move highlights Netwealth’s strategic push into the $600 billion stockbroking and private wealth market.

What’s next for Netwealth Group?
The company sees strong growth momentum, supported by structural and demographic trends in the platform market. Netwealth aims to double FUA over the next four years, driven by core growth, new client wins, and expansion into adjacent markets.
