With this acquisition, AIM Investment Management will be operating as Bendigo Financial Planning effective immediately and over the coming months it will be fully integrated into Bendigo Wealth’s standard Financial Planning offering.
Bendigo Wealth head of Wealth Markets Alex Tullio said this acquisition is the first step towards increasing the ability of the bank’s fee for service financial planning division to better service their 1.4 million retail customers.
Principals of AIM Investment Management, Michael Duncan and Martin McGrath, jointly said through the acquisition, AIM’s 1600 customers across two sites will be progressively introduced to the Bendigo style of banking.
"We’re very comfortable transitioning our customers to an organization that aims to be Australia’s leading customer connected banking group and focuses on building and improving the prospects of our customers and communities," Duncan said.
