What Fiducian Group does

Fiducian Group Limited is an ASX-listed (ticker: FID) Australian financial services group headquartered in Sydney that operates an integrated financial advice, funds management, superannuation, and platform technology business. Founded in 1996 by Inderjit (Indy) Singh, the company serves private individuals, business owners, SMSF investors, and external financial advisers across Australia through a nationwide network of more than 70 financial advisers spanning 40 offices, supplemented by mobile and online client channels. Its core products comprise Fiducian Advice, Fiducian Investments (multi-manager diversified and specialist funds), the Fiducian Superannuation master trust, Fiducian Adviser Solutions, the FORCe financial planning software, and a suite of personally managed share portfolios, together managing AUD 10.6 billion in funds under management, advice, and administration as at mid-2021.

The company's investment process centres on its proprietary "Manage the Manager System," which constructs portfolios by blending multiple underlying fund managers and styles to deliver diversified, risk-adjusted returns. This methodology underpins a broad product shelf that ranges from the Fiducian Capital Stable and Balanced Funds to specialist strategies in Australian shares, emerging markets, fixed interest, geared equities, and global small caps. On the technology side, Fiducian develops and licenses the FORCe financial planning platform alongside proprietary administration systems, sold both internally and to external adviser practices, and operates the Fiducian Mobile App for real-time client portfolio monitoring.

Fiducian's revenue model combines asset-based management fees on its multi-manager and specialist funds, administration fees from the superannuation master trust and platform solutions, professional-services revenue from financial advice delivered through the adviser network, and subscription revenue from FORCe and related adviser software tools. Distribution is predominantly face-to-face through the franchise-style adviser network, with secondary digital onboarding and self-service via the mobile app and online portal. The group is regulated by APRA, ASIC, and ASFA membership, and on 2 April 2026 APRA imposed additional licence conditions on Fiducian Portfolio Services Limited following a thematic review identifying deficiencies in investment governance, conflict management, and board oversight, requiring independent expert reviews and a halt to onboarding new high-risk investment options.
