Panoptic Wealth Management
Panoptic Wealth Management was founded in Brisbane in 2019 by Managing Director David Reynolds. The firm operates under a self-managed Australian Financial Services License held by its separate licensee entity, Panoptic Wealth Holdings Pty Ltd (AFSL 437907), an architecture that frees its advisers from the product menus of institutional licensees. The firm serves Australian private clients from its Brisbane head office and additional locations in Sydney and Melbourne. The firm delivers financial planning, individually managed portfolio accounts, superannuation advisory, share advice, and succession planning. Its public materials emphasize direct portfolio construction and ongoing management tailored to individual risk profiles and investment objectives, rather than a single-model approach. The team of seven professionals spans offices in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne. Specific portfolio holdings, asset-class allocations, or strategic partnerships are not publicly disclosed. The practice reports a team of seven, including Senior Financial Adviser Tom Woollan who has advised clients since 2007 with a focus on investment portfolio construction and self-managed superannuation funds. The wider operating group includes a Practice Manager, Client Service Officer, Compliance Manager, Accounts and Payroll, and a Project Manager. The firm maintains a presence across three eastern Australian capitals, anchored by its Brisbane headquarters. Panoptic’s structural differentiator lies in its self-licensed posture. The firm holds its own Australian Financial Services License through a distinct holding company rather than operating as an authorized representative under a bank or large institutional licensee. This framework, combined with a stated emphasis on individualized portfolio management and multi-generational succession advice, shapes a practice that negotiates its recommended universe directly rather than constraining advice to an institution's approved-product list.
