ipac was founded in 1983 by a group of young professionals with a passion for providing quality financial information and advice. Among them were leading financial commentator Paul Clitheroe and respected investment strategist and author Arun Abey. Both remain actively involved as directors of ipac today.

They started out in a small room within a serviced office with just one telephone line. It was the early 1980s and deregulation of financial markets had brought an explosion in the financial choices available. But few Australians knew how to exploit these opportunities.

ipac’s expertise in research and financial advice became so well regarded that in addition to advising individuals, the founders were soon showing some of Australia’s best-known financial institutions how to do it.
ipac has grown steadily in the two decades since and now has around 200 staff and more than $15 billion in funds under management. One key to this growth has been the passion our people bring to the goal of helping our clients achieve their full potential.

We have offices along the east coast of Australia, with a network of partner firms around Australia that aim to deliver the same high-quality service. ipac is a principal member of the Financial Planning Association (FPA), and is fully committed to the FPA’s Code of Ethics and Rules of Professional Conduct.

Despite our strong growth, ipac maintains the close personal relationships with clients that have helped make us a financial advice leader in Australia. ipac is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of AXA Asia Pacific Holdings Limited, providing resources and support to help us develop our service continually.
