HOW DO I MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS SO I CAN 'LIVE LIFE, ON PURPOSE, WITH CONFIDENCE'?

WEALTH MANAGEMENT AND INVESTMENT ADVICE

We help you grow, manage and enhance your investment wealth through delivering the three core ingredients for success:

• Effective investment consulting based on top-quality ethical investing
• Advanced planning that protects you & your assets and enhances future outcomes
• Superb partnership with you and your professional network

Effective investment requires a structured, evidence-based, low-cost and effective approach. Many advisers and analysts claim they can pick winners and forecast markets – but there is no evidence they can do so consistently and predictably. Instead, we base our recommendations on the same long-term, proven and low-cost strategies used by successful investors, professionals and Nobel Prize-winners around the world:

• Markets are efficient so don’t try to second-guess them. Instead, let them go to work for you.
• Practice smart diversification, here and around the world
• Invest, don’t speculate. Over time only a tiny fraction of managers and funds do better than the market after fees – it’s hard to identify them and they can’t do it consistently.
• Take a long-term approach – avoid timing markets, instead invest in academically-proven sources of return 
• Keep costs low

Combined with really efficient administration, our careful and rigorous approach will simplify your life and amplify the results, increasing the likelihood you’ll achieve your objectives. 

Like most of our clients, you want your investments to be consistent with your values. We provide a range of ethical investments as the core of every recommended investment solution

ADVANCED PLANNING

We believe in planning for the best outcomes, managing for the worst. We have your best interests at heart. Effective investment & wealth management also involves some or all of:

• Wealth Enhancement – efficient management of tax and cash flow
• Wealth Transfer – the right assets to the right people in the right way
• Wealth Protection – managing risks through effective insurance and legal structures such as wills
• Planned Generosity – charitable giving during your lifetime

In partnership with your existing advisers and those from our network of expert professionals, we’ll coordinate it all for you, and deliver the right solutions to give you peace of mind.

'FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE' – MAKING WORK OPTIONAL

If you’re still working, we’ll help you plan for the day when you don’t need to. Rather than  ‘retirement’, we prefer to call it ‘making work optional’. Whatever you call it, we’ll help you determine needs and goals, assess current provisions such as KiwiSaver, and provide solutions for any shortfalls.

We’ll help you accumulate wealth through the best combination of KiwiSaver and other wealth accumulation strategies. 

COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL PLANNING

Are your life and finances messy and complex? We’ll provide clarity, helping you take an integrated and structured approach to meeting your life goals through effective management of your finances. Financial planning provides direction and meaning to your financial decisions. Our process helps you clarify where you are now, gain a clear and compelling picture of your future, and provide insight into what to do and how to stay on course.
