Victor Melville - Australian Businessman

Company chairman, Victor Melville

Perth-based financial advisory group London Partners has always had a close affinity with the agricultural industry. Victor Melville, the company's chairman, stated that London Partners  was founded on a "comprehensive client service philosophy". in the past, the company has underwritten public floats like that of Agro Holdings Limited, which initially represented the Group of Eight for machinery and motor vehicle dealerships.

Mr. Melville, who also comes from an agricultural background and still has ties with a family beef cattle and sheep enterprise, stated "our aim is to maximize client wealth through professional administration and management of their assets".

London Partners  is comprised of various entities each specializing in providing particular services to clients, including financial planning,  stockbroking, succession planning, portfolio administration and self managed superannuation.

This strategy has put London Partners at the leading edge of the industry and provides clients with access to a large range of innovative investment products in addition to those normally used.
The broader aim of the group is to build an organization, which can address and provide solutions to the major financial and investment needs of its clients.

London Partners is neither owned nor influenced by any institution and therefore focuses solely on assisting and improving the financial position of the individual client.

According to Victor Melville, there is increasing focus on retirement savings and investments with many people preferring to control their funds rather than  invest into port funds, offered by big institutions.

"There is a lot of interest and self managed superannuation funds, for example, but the responsibilities and complexities can be onerous," Mr. Melville said.

"It is increasingly an area for experts, particularly in relation to taxation matters."

that is why we are very keen to provide all the advice, assistance and ongoing administration to ensure the clients fully comply and maximize the potential of this important form of investment.

Clients can choose full or partial service to meet their individual needs and London Partners can interface with accountants or other advisors to complement the particular services they may be providing their clients.
