About
Built by people who know what the industry needs — because they spent decades inside it.
Mission
Nexfolio exists to deliver a foundational shift in how Australian wealth management operates. Not a marginal improvement to existing infrastructure — a structural change in what it means to hold, manage, and verify financial assets on behalf of Australian investors.
Three things converged to make this the right moment to build. The Digital Assets (Market Regulation) Act 2025 created a workable regulatory pathway for tokenised financial products for the first time. A generational wealth transfer of unprecedented scale is underway, with the next generation of beneficiaries expecting digital-first, verifiable, always-on financial infrastructure. And the underlying technology — blockchain-based custody, on-chain compliance, machine learning-driven surveillance — has reached the maturity required for institutional deployment. The question is no longer whether this will happen. It is who builds it and how.
Team
Adam Reynolds
CEO & Co-Founder
Adam brings over 40 years of financial markets and technology experience spanning equity brokerage, derivatives, FX, and digital assets — at the institutional level and at the executive level, across multiple markets and cycles.
His career began at Merrill Lynch, where he rose to Managing Director. He subsequently joined Saxo Bank, where he served as CEO Asia Pacific for 12 years — building Saxo's Asia-Pacific business from its foundation into a significant regional operation, and giving him a direct view of how institutional infrastructure is built, regulated, and scaled in the Australian and broader regional context.
Adam holds a Graduate Australian Institute of Company Directors (GAICD) qualification and a Master of Strategic Investment and Director (MSID). He has served on multiple boards and advisory committees across his career.
He founded Nexfolio because he has seen, from the inside, both what Australian financial infrastructure can achieve and where its structural limits lie. The tokenised custody, AI surveillance, and on-chain portfolio management capabilities Nexfolio is building are the infrastructure that the industry he has spent four decades in now needs.
Richard Douglas
CCO & Co-Founder
Richard is a financial services and regulatory compliance specialist with deep experience across both traditional financial markets and digital assets. His career spans Macquarie Bank, where he built compliance and operational frameworks for institutional businesses, through to Saxo Bank Asia Pacific, where he served in a senior compliance and operations capacity during the firm's growth phase in the region.
Richard was most recently COO at Swyftx — one of Australia's leading digital asset exchanges — where he led the operational and regulatory transformation of the business through significant growth and during the period of evolving Australian crypto regulation.
At Nexfolio, Richard leads the regulatory and compliance architecture — including the AFSL application process, the AML/CTF programme, the TCP classification framework, and the operational infrastructure required to meet ASIC and AUSTRAC obligations at scale.
Why Nexfolio. Why Now.
Regulatory Clarity
The Digital Assets (Market Regulation) Act 2025 created the first workable regulatory framework for tokenised financial products in Australia. Nexfolio was designed from the ground up to operate within this framework.
Generational Transfer
Australia is in the early stages of the largest generational wealth transfer in its history. The beneficiaries expect digital-native, transparent, verifiable financial infrastructure. Nexfolio is building for that reality.
Technology Maturity
Blockchain-based custody, on-chain compliance enforcement, and machine learning-driven fund surveillance have reached the maturity required for institutional deployment. The technical risk is manageable. The regulatory pathway is clear. The market demand is building.
We are building Nexfolio in partnership with the wealth management businesses that will use it. If you are interested in being part of that conversation early, we would like to hear from you.
