Building on the partnership announced last year, the expanded relationship will see FNZ build, migrate and operate a core platform supporting FirstCape’s wealth and advice businesses in New Zealand, including JBWere New Zealand, Harbour Asset Management and Consilium. The partnership creates a long-term foundation to support integration, operational efficiency and improved client outcomes across the group.

The partnership coincides with the launch of FNZ Select, FNZ’s premium service proposition for its most strategically important relationships, of which FirstCape is amongst the first to experience.

Malcolm Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of FirstCape, said:

Our partnership with FNZ supports our approach to continuing to invest in capability and technology that helps advisers deliver high‑quality outcomes for clients across our businesses. It underpins our commitment to ensuring clients are at the centre of everything we do, as we continue to deliver high‑quality wealth and asset management solutions.

As an FNZ Select partner, FirstCape gains priority on FNZ’s platform roadmap, faster access to new features, and extra support to help advisers and clients benefit from a more connected, scalable wealth management platform. FNZ Select offers enhanced service, advanced platform capabilities including AI functionality, and closer collaboration on innovation and platform development.

“The expansion of our partnership with FirstCape reflects a continued focus on delivery and long‑term collaboration,” said Roman Regelman, Group President at FNZ.

Through FNZ’s global wealth platform and a shared focus on technology-led innovation, we are supporting FirstCape in advancing a more integrated, client-first experience across its businesses. FNZ Select provides the platform capability, service model and innovation required to support growth, simplify operating models and operate at scale.

The relationship between FirstCape and FNZ is multifaceted and one of long-term strategic alignment, further reflected in FirstCape’s participation in FNZ’s capital raise in November 2025, reflecting confidence in FNZ’s strategy, platform and operating model.
