History was made at this year’s Principal Owner Conference as WestPac Wealth Partners secured the Guardian President’s Award for the second year in a row—a feat not seen in three decades. We are incredibly proud of our team for setting this new standard of excellence and for being recognized as the premier firm within the Guardian network.
A 30-Year Milestone Rooted in Consistency
Winning the President’s Award—the highest honor for a wealth management firm—is a significant achievement. Receiving it consecutively for the first time in three decades is a testament to the consistency of our mission. For us, being "Back-to-Back Champions" isn't about the title; it’s about the trust our clients place in us every single day.
“This recognition is truly a reflection of the heart of our firm,” says Nash Subotic, CEO of WestPac Wealth Partners. “Winning this honor twice in a row is a humbling reminder that when you invest in people and stay committed to serving clients at the highest level, excellence naturally follows. It is a shared victory for every person at WestPac.”
A Journey of Growth and Service
At WestPac, we believe that trophies are a byproduct of a much deeper purpose: helping others grow. Our firm has been fortunate to see measurable growth in 16 of our 18 years in business, a journey that has allowed us to build a process-driven and impactful organization dedicated to financial clarity.
The 2025 President’s Award recognizes WestPac’s focus on several core pillars:
- Investing in Talent: A commitment to recruiting and mentoring Financial Representatives who are dedicated to their craft.
- Steady Expansion: Growing our presence to reach more individuals and families across diverse markets.
- Community Stewardship: Building a lasting, positive impact for the businesses and communities we are privileged to serve.
Winning Daily is About Serving Daily
This historic milestone belongs to our advisors, leadership team, and support staff. Their daily pursuit of excellence and belief in our mission is what has elevated WestPac within the financial industry.
“My focus has always been on steady, incremental growth—every day, every week, every year,” Subotic added. “I’ve always believed that 'winning' is simply the result of showing up for our clients every day. We aren't building a trophy case; we are building a legacy of impact that we hope will be remembered for decades to come.”
We are deeply grateful to Guardian for this continued recognition and, most importantly, to our clients. Your trust is the true award. At WestPac, back-to-back is an honor, but our commitment to your success remains our daily expectation.
