20100909--1058ALAN DIXON

Managing Director & CEO

 

Alan joined Dixon Advisory and Superannuation Services Limited (Dixon Advisory), in Canberra, in 2001. Dixon Advisory was founded in 1986 by his father, Daryl, as a leading consultant on retirement strategies and advice. By 2001, the firm was one of Australia’s leading independent advisors and consultants. Alan joined with the vision of expanding it to be a full-service private wealth management business focused on the then nascent self-managed superannuation (SMSF) sector. Under Daryl’s Chairmanship and Alan’s role as the Group Managing Director, Dixon Advisory grew from under $200 million of funds under advice in 2001 to over $5 billion today, a compound annual growth rate of over 30% for more than a decade, with the business now employing over 400 staff across offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and New York. Dixon Advisory is today the largest privately owned, vertically integrated wealth management business focused on the SMSF sector.

Alan relocated to New York full time in early 2012 to manage the growing operations of Dixon Advisory USA. Applying his experience at Dixon Advisory in building an institutional business in a highly fragmented, retail industry, Alan has rapidly built Dixon Advisory USA into a leader in the urban single-family home rental business, building a highly scalable, vertically integrated operation covering all aspects of the single-family property investment cycle. Today Dixon Advisory USA employees a staff of over 100, manages a portfolio of over $1 billion and is the only real estate investment trust focused on New York metropolitan area single-family homes.

Prior to joining Dixon Advisory, Alan was a successful property investment banker at Ord Minnett, a predecessor firm to JP Morgan, and ABN AMRO Corporate Finance, and commenced his career at Price Waterhouse.

Alan has a Bachelor of Commerce from the Australian National University and is a Member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia. He is an SPAA Accredited SMSF Specialist Advisor.
