In a strategic move set to bolster its position in the ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) sector, Mason Stevens, a prominent name in Australia's wealth management landscape, has announced a partnership with independent advisory firm GloryHouse. This collaboration aims to leverage Mason Stevens' advanced platform capabilities for investment management and client services, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing commitment to serving Australia's most sophisticated private wealth managers and their clients.
Founded earlier this year by industry veterans Garth Hu and Cathy Ding, GloryHouse has quickly established itself as a go-to advisory firm for UHNW family offices and sophisticated investors. The firm offers a comprehensive suite of bespoke wealth management solutions, including personalised investment strategies, tax and estate planning, second-generation advice, philanthropy, and private client advisory services.
Both Hu and Ding have garnered recognition on Barron’s list of Australia’s Top Financial Advisers, with Hu maintaining the prestigious title of Australia's No.1 adviser for five consecutive years from 2020 to 2024. Ding has also been a notable figure on the list for the past four years, earning the distinction of being Australia's top female adviser in 2024.
Tim Yule, CEO of Mason Stevens, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to welcome Garth and Cathy to the Mason Stevens platform. Their decision to partner with us reflects the growing demand for sophisticated, client-focused wealth management solutions within the ultra-high-net-worth advisory community. This partnership underscores our commitment to providing premium tailored solutions, advanced technology, and exceptional service to clients who expect nothing but the best."
Mason Stevens' platform, known for its integrated wealth technology and personalised Outsourced CIO (Chief Investment Office) service, is designed to cater to the complex needs of independent advisors in the UHNW space. This makes it an ideal fit for GloryHouse, which prides itself on offering true investment choice, independence, and control to its clients.

Garth Hu, Founder and CEO at GloryHouse, highlighted the significance of the partnership, saying, "We wanted a platform that could handle the complexity of our clients’ portfolios while giving us flexibility. Our partnership with Mason Stevens allows us to deliver institutional-grade capabilities while maintaining the independence and personalised service that our clients value most."
The collaboration provides GloryHouse with access to Mason Stevens' institutional-grade risk and compliance framework, operational infrastructure, and high-touch support. This ensures robust governance, confidence, and continuity for both advisors and clients, enhancing the overall wealth management experience.
Cathy Ding, Founder and Managing Partner at GloryHouse, shared her excitement about the new partnership, stating, "Mason Stevens’ architecture will allow us to curate best-in-class solutions for every client. It’s an exciting step forward in the evolution of our business. Their commitment to innovate and their understanding of the unique needs of our clients gives us confidence that we’ve found the right platform to partner with."

The partnership with GloryHouse is a testament to Mason Stevens' ongoing efforts to provide unparalleled service to its clients, reinforcing its reputation as the platform of choice for Australia's elite private wealth managers.
This collaboration not only highlights the growing demand for sophisticated wealth management solutions but also underscores the importance of innovation and client-centric services in the competitive UHNW advisory market. With such strategic partnerships, Mason Stevens is well-positioned to further solidify its leadership in the industry, offering clients the best of both worlds—advanced technology and personalised service.
