Financial Advice

Consultum

IOOF investment products and services are sold and supported by financial advisers in boutique and nationally represented dealer groups.

IOOF holds a number of equity positions, ranging from 20% to 49% in a number of these dealer groups and owns 100% of the Consultum dealer group.

Consultum was born in 2006 following the merger of two leading Australian financial planning groups: Winchcombe Carson Financial Planning and Financial Partnership.

Established in 1979, Winchcombe was one of Australia's pioneering financial planning groups. Financial Partnership, launched in 2002, was one of Australia's first lifestyle financial planning groups, seeking strong ongoing relationships with its clients throughout every life-stage.

Consultum has the backing and resourcing of its parent company The IOOF Group, an ASX 200 listed company that has been looking after the financial security of Australians for over 160 years.

The Consultum group's head office is located in Melbourne, but our network of over 100 financial advisers are located around the nation.
