Australian Ethical has teamed up with technology company, DASH Technology, to offer direct to consumer projections.
DASH, the new name for Wealth02 following mergers with Roar Software and NEO, would provide customised projections in the online superannuation statements and client portal of Australian Ethical super members.
Andrew Whelan, chief executive of DASH, said: “We are delighted to be working with Australian Ethical and take this partnership as a nod to both our modelling prowess as well as our solutions-based approach.
“We are excited to support Australian Ethical's members with our highly flexible and easy to implement solutions, enabling them to seamlessly modify their contributions based on their personal retirement goals.”
He added the merger and name change were part of an effort by the firm to position itself as a best-of-breed solutions provider for the broader wealth industry.
