Generation Development Completes $1.8B Migration, Crosses $4B FUM Threshold
Generation Development Group has completed the migration of $1.8 billion in managed discretionary account portfolios from Xplore Wealth to its Implemented Portfolios private label MDA service on the HUB24 platform. The completion, flagged in the company’s March 2026 Quarterly Update, lifts Implemented Portfolios’ total funds under management to more than $4 billion, reinforcing its position as Australia’s largest independent MDA provider.
Implemented Portfolios crosses $4 billion FUM milestone
The Generation Development Xplore Wealth Migration represents execution of a previously disclosed integration strategy. The $1.8 billion portfolio transfer onto the HUB24 platform pushes Implemented Portfolios past the $4 billion FUM threshold, a scale milestone that validates GDG’s acquisition integration capability and strengthens competitive positioning in the managed accounts sector.
Implemented Portfolios operates under GDG’s Evidentia Group division. The completion demonstrates the company’s capacity to onboard and integrate acquired client books while maintaining service continuity—a critical operational requirement for wealth management consolidators pursuing M&A-led growth strategies.

What is a managed discretionary account?
A managed discretionary account (MDA) is an investment account where an investor authorises a professional investment manager to make buy and sell decisions on their behalf without transaction-by-transaction approval. The manager operates within an agreed investment strategy and risk profile set at the account’s inception.
MDAs appeal to financial advisers and investors for several reasons: efficiency, professional portfolio management, and consistency. Rather than advisers manually executing trades across multiple client accounts, the MDA model allows centralised implementation of investment decisions across all participating clients simultaneously.
MDA adoption has grown structurally across Australian wealth management as advisers seek scalable solutions that maintain investment discipline while reducing administrative burden. For providers, the model generates recurring fee revenue linked to FUM rather than transactional income.
Platform expansion with HUB24
The migration moved portfolios onto the HUB24 platform, expanding Evidentia Group’s capability across multiple leading investment administration platforms. This platform diversification reduces concentration risk and opens distribution channels to financial advisers already using HUB24’s infrastructure.
For GDG, multi-platform capability supports broader distribution of managed account services to adviser networks and positions the company to capture organic growth opportunities across different custodial ecosystems.

GDG’s growth trajectory in managed accounts
The completion demonstrates execution capability following acquisitions and validates the M&A-led growth strategy in wealth management infrastructure.

Key outcomes from the migration include:
- Completed migration of $1.8 billion FUM

- Expanded platform capability via HUB24 integration
- Reinforced position as Australia’s largest independent MDA provider
The successful integration of the Xplore Wealth client book positions Evidentia Group to pursue further organic and inorganic growth opportunities, though no specific forward guidance was provided in this announcement.
