The firm will become a wholly?owned subsidiary of HUB24 as part of the deal, while retaining its identity and headquarters in Brisbane.

Commenting on the acquisition, HUB24 managing director Andrew Alcock said: “This is an exciting development for us. We will have the capabilities to develop and offer an end?to?end suite of solutions across a broader set of wealth management business models. We look forward to investing in a combined HUB24 and Agility offering.

“However, our immediate priority is to ensure that Agility continues to deliver their exceptional products and services to their clients. HUB24 is already a customer of Agility so we are confident that the Agility solutions will continue to support and extend HUB24’s award?winning investment and superannuation platform.”

HUB24 will pay Agility $2m in cash and $4m in Hub24 ordinary shares following completion of the transaction, and a further $5.5m in cash and $3.5m in HUB24 ordinary shares over the next three years after certain conditions and performance hurdles are met.
