Our ETF Whisperer has made it to the FS Power50 list

It’s official! Our director, Andrew Wielandt, has been recognised on the Financial Standard FS Power50 list for 2024. On Novembrer 4, Andrew was named among the top 50 most influential financial advisors in Australia.


The FS Power50 is a respected annual list that highlights advisors across the country who are actively shaping the financial advisory profession through their work and dedication to client service.


Each year, Financial Standard opens nominations for the FS Power 50, with readers and industry peers voting to decide the final 50. It’s no small feat, and this year saw a strong Queensland representation, with advisors from Queensland making up 36% of the list.

This acknowledgment reflects the values that Andrew and the entire DP Wealth team prioritise every day: a commitment to quality advice, a personal approach, and making a difference in the community. As Andrew often says, our role goes beyond financial advice—it’s about positively impacting our clients’ lives.


Andrew is known for his extensive knowledge of ETFs, earning him the nickname “ETF Whisperer,” but his expertise goes well beyond investment strategies. His dedication to our clients and our community in Toowoomba has always been a core part of his work.


Following the announcement Andrew commented, “Whilst I am grateful to be recognised amongst the other amazing advisers on this list, my team here at DP Wealth Advisory are really the ones who deserve recognition for their tireless efforts to provide our clients with outstanding advice using best-in-practice tools.” It’s a sentiment we can all get behind. Our team approach is what makes our work meaningful, and this recognition is a shared one for everyone here.


Thank you to our clients, our community, and our colleagues who support us. We’re looking forward to continuing to provide the kind of personal, thoughtful advice that helps clients achieve their financial goals.

May 30, 2025
As the dust settles following the 2025 federal election, investors and retirees across Australia are facing new legislative realities—particularly around superannuation tax thresholds and broader wealth management strategies. At DP Wealth, we understand that policy change can be unsettling. Headlines about “panic selling” and “super tax shocks” make it easy to lose sight of the long game. But rest assured, with expert guidance and a clear plan, there are effective ways to stay ahead—and stay in control. Division 296 and the $3 million super balance cap From 1 July 2025, individuals with super balances over $3 million may be subject to an additional 15% tax on earnings linked to the amount above that threshold, including unrealised gains. Who does this affect? Self-managed super fund (SMSF) trustees High net worth individuals nearing or exceeding the cap Those relying heavily on super for retirement and estate planning What should you be considering now? Does this change impact your retirement goals? Is your current structure still the most tax-effective for you? Would investing outside of super provide greater flexibility or advantages? Should you revise your contribution strategy before July 2025? Our team can walk you through different scenarios and work closely with your accountant and solicitor to ensure your plan remains efficient and aligned with your life goals.
