Matt Heine was the fifth employee to join Netwealth in July 2001 – an ASX-listed financial services and technology company started by his family to service investors and the wealth management industry.
The Melbourne-based company was founded in 1999 and is now led by Matt and his father Michael as joint managing directors. With 20+ years of wealth management experience, Matt drives strategy, product, innovation and growth initiatives across the business in addition to overseeing sales, marketing, product and compliance.
Netwealth is not owned or aligned with any banks or other financial services groups and has become one of the fastest-growing wealth management businesses in Australia. It is rated No.1 for customer satisfaction and analysts continually rate their technology as best-in-class*.
Matt’s skills, knowledge and passion for the industry span many aspects including advice, superannuation, investment and IT, and he is a regular commentator and presenter on these topics.
Matt is passionate about improving the lives of Australians, specifically their financial education. He champions Netwealth’s partnership with Banqer – a virtual classroom economy where school children can learn to earn, save, spend and invest their money. He aims to create financial literacy and capability across the country and 8,500 students, ages between 8 and 12 currently use the program with a goal of 15,000 a year.
When he is not managing Netwealth, Matt spends time with his young family, which includes 6 y.o. twins, Raffie and Sunday and a 8 y.o son, Harry. He is a keen skier, kite surfer, loves travelling and has a voracious appetite for all formats of digital media.
