A new chapter in asset management – where deep experience meets personalised investment advice.
In a world increasingly dominated by impersonal algorithms and off-the-shelf financial products, true investment stewardship has become rare. At Pacific Private Asset Management (Pacific), it’s not just about managing money — it’s about building enduring relationships with families, grounded in trust, transparency, and tailored advice.
Pacific is an investment advisory and private asset management firm with a singular focus: to serve the complex and evolving needs of high-net-worth individuals and families. With decades of combined experience across private and public markets, our investment team brings the discipline of institutional investing to the family office level — without the corporate overhead or diluted incentives of larger platforms.
Founder Ben Grodski, whose career spans private wealth, multi-family offices and institutional mandates, built Pacific to serve clients seeking both independence and depth — without compromise.
At the heart of Pacific is our Chief Investment Officer, John Eliopoulos — one of the most experienced and globally connected CIOs in the country. John brings deep relationships across top-tier managers, fluency in multi-currency and multi-asset-class investing. Whether navigating listed securities or private opportunities, John’s ability to curate personalised investment portfolios is second to none.
What truly sets Pacific apart is our approach to partnership. Every family we work with is treated as a unique mandate. We run the investment committee with them, not for them — aligning bestin-class advice, execution, and oversight under a Managed Discretionary Account (MDA) structure that preserves individual choice while ensuring institutional-grade governance.
“Our clients don’t just get access to investment IP,” says founder Ben Grodski. “They help shape the strategy to meet their objectives. It’s collaborative, transparent, and built to evolve.”
Pacific offers a distinctive advantage to families through access to a private platform — typically reserved for institutions — with tailored portfolio construction, global banking access, and direct links to specialists across fixed income, Australian and international equities, and private assets. We work with Chester, Munro, Aoris among others — each chosen for performance, integrity, and fit.
Administration should never be a burden, so we’ve built a seamless platform: secure CRM systems, platform-agnostic infrastructure, and simplified onboarding via trusted partners and global private banks.
Most importantly, our model speaks the language of accountants. With direct asset ownership, full liquidity, and clear tax visibility, we align seamlessly with the frameworks and priorities accountants value most — including those focused on proactive, personal tax and accounting advice and transparent reporting. It’s a structure built for performance, clarity and tax compatibility.
For families looking beyond retail platforms, bundled solutions or passive managers, Pacific offers a broader, more tailored and personalised alternative — one built on clarity, credibility, and care.
When your capital represents your intergenerational life’s work and your family’s future, you deserve more than an investment manager. You deserve a partner.
