What The Inside Network does

The Inside Network is a privately held Australian company (The Inside Network Pty Ltd, ABN 51 636 383 812) that operates a community, events, and trade media platform serving the Australian and New Zealand financial advice industry. The company is headquartered in Melbourne with a Sydney office and is led by Executive Chair Jamie Nemtsas and Managing Director Drew Meredith, alongside an editorial, partnerships, and account management team of 11–50 people. Its core audience comprises independent financial advisers, dealer-aligned advisers, family office executives, research and investment committee members, and — via its consumer-facing publication — retirees and SMSF trustees.

The platform combines four owned publications (The Inside Adviser at 17,000+ advisers, Investor Strategy News at 7,000+ institutional professionals, The Golden Times at 21,000+ retirees/SMSF trustees, and RASK with a monthly audience exceeding 100,000), an event portfolio spanning Alternatives Symposiums, the INZ Investment Leaders Forum in Queenstown, the INASIA Forum in Singapore, the INUSA Study Tour in Los Angeles and New York, the INFIN Future Financial Leaders program, Income & Defensive Symposiums, and INPractice Masterclasses, plus an 'insiders' membership program with CPD tracking via ThinkCaddie. The technology stack is Squarespace-based for digital content delivery, supplemented by a native mobile app on iOS and Google Play, and a growing library of video (INDepth, IN60, INSight, INBrief), podcasts, roundtables, and InnerCircles. A physical print product, The Inside Network Journal, is scheduled to launch in the second half of 2026.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model with three streams: paid event registrations (tickets ranging from $60 to $6,000 AUD depending on event type and membership status), recurring insiders membership subscriptions, and publication/marketing sponsorship revenue. Institutional sponsorship is anchored by Colonial First State as Foundation Partner, with a broader education partner roster including S&P Dow Jones Indices, Brookfield, Blue Owl, Warburg Pincus, Roc Partners, KeyInvest, KitLegal, SQM Research, Levera, and Genium Investment Partners. Distribution is conducted through direct website sales, email newsletters, owned social channels, and event registrations, with two related entities under common ownership — Capital Outcomes (a financial services PR agency) and Atchison (an asset consultant) — supporting marketing and content depth.
