According to Bristow, “Infocus is honoured and excited by the opportunity to support TWUSUPER in its initiative”.

We have highly skilled, highly personable advisers on the ground in Western Australia and right across the country and we’re confident we will be able provide exceptional service to TWUSUPER’s members accordingly”, Bristow said.
“As an independently owned wealth management group, we understand and respect the commercial concerns of industry funds. It has been from this foundation that we have progressed with a transparent and accountable process that has given both Industry Fund Services and TWUSUPER the confidence to move forward with us”, he said. “It’s a great initiative for TWUSUPER members and importantly, also a great outcome for advisers who are part of the Infocus group”.
Industry Fund Services and Infocus Wealth Management have been working on developing a national financial advice referral program for client members of industry superannuation funds. In addition, Infocus is in discussions with other organisations and employer groups to provide similar outsourced financial advice services for consumers nationally.
