  • Our Approach

    Getting to know our clients, combined with a robust yet flexible investment process, allows us to build trusting, long-term relationships as the basis for whole-of-life wealth management planning.

    Following detailed discussions to fully understand your needs and aspirations, we formulate an investment strategy to develop a personalised wealth management plan. Our advisory framework includes the core expertise to model diversified portfolios, access niche investments and manage risk.

    Where appropriate we also involve specialist teams, such as our Direct Investment Group who can provide you with access to institutional-quality investments that are not ordinarily available.

    The process then flows through to tailored portfolio construction, setting up and funding of accounts, tactical asset allocation, and continual monitoring and review of your plan.

    Looking ahead, we can collaborate with external specialists to assist our team as required in areas such as estate and succession planning, philanthropic advice, and intergenerational wealth transfer.

  • Benefits to You

    Our partners and advisors directly manage the firm, so we can focus on providing advice that puts your interests first. That’s because we are unencumbered by the constraints of proprietary products, corporate objectives and constricting industry relationships.

    We share our advisory and specialist skill sets across the firm to develop a comprehensive wealth management plan that is tailored to your needs.

    The planning of your portfolio is based on our CIO team’s robust investment process, involving extensive research and the continual monitoring of markets, economies, asset classes and fund managers. The data from this research is adopted consistently across the firm. It means you can rely on our team maintaining a calm, considered approach, even in times of short-term market volatility.

    Our sophisticated asset allocation process enables us to select from the entire range of asset classes across different geographical regions, including local and international equities, fixed income, alternatives and venture capital.

    This all results in the most appropriate investment portfolio for you, aimed at building and preserving your wealth into the future.

    Along the way, we provide you with easy access to fortnightly, monthly, quarterly and annual communications, covering areas such as financial markets, economics, asset classes and geopolitical news.
