IQ Group Celebrates 15 Year Milestone

Announcement posted by 12 Worlds Pty Ltd 24 Feb 2016

Melbourne 25 February, 2016 – As one of Australia’s most experienced consultancies in the superannuation and wealth management sector, IQ Group today announces it has reached the significant milestone of 15 years in operation.

Created at the turn of the new millennium, IQ Group has evolved through acquisition and expanded its growing consulting expertise to now run project teams from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. 

The last five years – with the overhaul of Australia’s super regime, spearheaded by the SuperStream and Strong Super initiatives - have seen more change than in the previous 30. IQ Group’s fierce independence and deep industry and technology expertise has been credited with helping clients chart a clear course through the sector’s complex regulatory and technological changes. 

Brian Peters, Chief Executive Officer, IQ Group said: “We are extremely proud to have operated for 15 years in Australia’s rapidly transforming superannuation and wealth management sector. Significant milestones such as this allow us to acknowledge the input of our talented and far-sighted executive, staff and clients. It also gives us an experienced position from which to assess what’s coming next and where we should be focussing our outcomes driven services. Reducing churn and costs are ever with us – it’s how we help clients deal with them that creates differentiation. Digital member engagement and the NPP are two of the immediate areas where we’re applying our intelligence.”

As the independent voice of the industry, IQ Group has been a valued contributor to the development of Australia’s new framework, including IQ Group’s Chair, Graham Sammells’ appointments as Chair of the ASFA e-Commerce Committee and to the SuperStream Advisory Council.
Many of IQ Group’s initial clients remain committed customers as IQ Group plays a trusted advisory role, offering solutions that continue to answer the pressing and rapidly changing issues, and exciting opportunities, open to the sector. 

“We are where we are today largely because of the genuine partnerships we have with our clients and the two-way flow of ground breaking ideas,” Peters said.

IQ Group is focused on playing a meaningful role in creating the best possible future for its customers, its people, the company and Australia’s wealth management sector as a whole.

Peters explains how this is achieved: “We rely on our strong domain expertise in superannuation and wealth. We have a thorough understanding of technology and the way it enables and powers future possibilities. And we acknowledge that robust regulatory change is necessary for any sustainable system.”
