Octopus Wealth combines easy-to-use technology with the expertise of highly qualified financial advisers, to take the hassle out of money management – providing clients with a tailored financial plan and smart financial advice, on their terms. Its customers also benefit from being able to access the products and services of Octopus Investments, including its wide range of investment funds.
Octopus Wealth is part of the Octopus Group, which manages more than £7.7 billion on behalf of retail and institutional investors. Founded in 2000, the group has rapidly grown with now over 950 employees and operates in a number of innovative, entrepreneurial businesses in sectors such as venture capital, wealth management, property financing, healthcare infrastructure and renewable energy investments.
The Curve Group will provide Octopus Wealth with a configurable HR Outsource solution which includes a full HR administration service, delivering end to end administrative management of staff documentation throughout the entire employee life cycle; plus a phone and email-based HR advice line for Line Managers through which they will be provided with expert Employee Relations support. The Curve Group has also supported Octopus Wealth to implement an HR technology solution to compliment the solution.
Commenting on the appointment of The Curve Group, Richard Wazacz, CEO of Octopus Wealth, says “We’re excited to be working with The Curve Group as we move from proof of concept through to concerted growth. A lean and efficient team is fundamental to us offering effective and affordable financial advice, so using an innovative HR and Recruitment partner makes a lot of sense – empowering our teams to get on with what they’re good at and passionate about. We’re looking forward to the journey ahead.”
