Praemium chief executive Michael Ohanessian said the breakthrough is in having combined SMAs with bespoke investments in a singular experience.

It also announced combined quarterly gross inflows of $768 million, as well as annual gross inflows of $2.8 billion, up 10 per cent from the 2017 calendar year.
