Enhanced Asset Management (EAM) provides portfolio management and governance solutions to help Financial Advisers manage their clients investments.
EAM is an Investment Management and Investment Consulting Business. EAM was founded in 2019 to provide bespoke investment strategy, governance and portfolio management, and investment strategy solutions to Financial Advice businesses. EAM has also developed and runs 4 investment models it operates via a Managed Discretionary Account (MDA).
The business came about over dialogue Jeremy and Russell started back in 2018. Jeremy had been looking for ways to provide better investment outcomes for clients within the confines of a traditional advice business. Russell had recently returned to Adelaide after retiring as portfolio manager for a large Sydney-based Fund Manager. The two very different perspectives came together to first assist then ‘East Private Wealth’ with an overhaul of their investment philosophy, process and investment solutions for clients.
EAM offers advice businesses the benefit of their combined experience and expertise to develop clearer and more robust investment solutions for their clients. The business mission is to assist advisers with investment solutions for clients that add value and deliver measurable outcomes.
Our point of difference is the years of experience in both financial planning as well as investment management. We understand the conversations that advisers have with their clients, the limitations of the traditional advice business model, and we can therefore tailor our services and advice to help meet adviser’s specific needs.

Russell has been an equity analyst and portfolio (fund) manager for over 20 years with deep experience in analytical and research roles. He spent a number of his early years working in large institutional advice firms which has given him a healthy understanding of the challenges advisers face when managing client funds. In 2009/2010 he helped establish Montgomery Investment Management, and spent the following 6 years as Portfolio Manager, achieving well-above market results over the period. In 2016, he and the team were awarded Emerging Fund Manager of the year from Lonsec. Russell has been a regular contributor on Sky News “Your Money, your Call” and the AFR (amongst others). He is well regarded within the funds management industry. Russell moved back to Adelaide to be closer to family in 2016. He later established a wholesale fund “REQON Broadcap Fund” in addition to establishing Enhanced Asset Management in 2019 with Jeremy to help address the knowledge and experience gap advisers face when managing client’s funds.
Jeremy has worked in financial planning for over 16 years with roles with Westpac, Godfrey Pembroke and Oreana Financial Services. He was self employed for the majority of that time. He worked with a range of clients with a focus on high net wealth individuals with complex investment and strategic advice needs. Jeremy has a deep understanding of the challenges facing financial advisers and advice business in the management of client’s funds. It was Jeremy’s interest in governance, the completion of a Graduate Diploma in Applied Corporate Governance, and his involvement at a strategic level at a number of different organisations that led to an interest in the internal processes of advice businesses. The eventual establishment of EAM started with a reassessment of his own business investment processes. As an experienced Governance professional, Jeremy brings a unique perspective having built, run and successfully reinvented his own practice. He has a passion for process, accountability and engineering great client outcomes.
