AUCKLAND, 27 June, 2018 – Hobson Wealth Partners, a leading private wealth advisory firm in New Zealand, has selected Thomson Reuters wealth management platform to power its business and navigate an increasingly complex global environment.
Hobson Wealth Partners will leverage Thomson Reuters Eikon technology platform and digital tools to access the data and intelligence it needs to drive the discovery of new Alpha, unique investment opportunities, improved portfolio and risk management and higher trading profitability.
A recent report from Thomson Reuters on the digitalisation of the wealth management industry, which revealed that 68% of wealth managers say learning about and keeping up with new technology is the top challenge they face.

Warren Couillault, Managing Director, Hobson Wealth Partners said, “The financial value chain is being unbundled and re-bundled so collaboration is the key to a successful future. At Hobson Wealth Partners we believe that we should focus on what we are best at, which is providing leading private wealth services, and partnering with other best-in-class providers to build our platform. Thomson Reuters was the obvious choice as the right partner for market data tools and analytics and we are excited to continue building our capabilities alongside them.”
Daryl Sisson, Managing Director, Financial & Risk, Pacific, Thomson Reuters, said, “New Zealand’s wealth management industry is clearly committed to investing in technology that enables it to capture the growing global wealth opportunity.
