Deloitte announced today it has merged with the Melbourne based actuarial consulting firm Buttler Walker Actuaries.

 

Buttler Walker is a specialist management and actuarial consultancy with a traditionally strong focus on superannuation as well as wider capabilities and experience within the broader financial services industry.

 

Deloitte lead actuarial partner Andrew Gale said the merger with Buttler Walker (BW) represented a significant development for the firm’s growing superannuation consulting arm.

 

“Verging on a trillion dollar industry in Australia, superannuation continues to grow in an environment of significant regulatory change and further merger activity,” Mr Gale said.

 

“Deloitte will continue to invest in this area, expanding its breadth and depth of capability.

 

“Convergence in the financial services industry is resulting in linkages between superannuation, health care, aged care, retirement savings and pensions and this creates significant challenges for trustees, fund managers, wealth management organisations and corporates.

 

“This convergence of services makes the Deloitte integrated multidisciplinary approach powerful when addressing increasingly complex issues for our clients.  This was a major reason why Buttler Walker embraced a merger with Deloitte so enthusiastically.
