Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is based on the following elements.

Two founding principles

  • To understand our clients, their financial and personal circumstances, needs, objectives and risk profile.

  • To utilise the most effective strategies and structures in tailor-making portfolios for our clients (e.g. use of family trusts, companies, superannuation funds, pension funds, gearing initiatives, joint or individual holdings) in the context of the optimal management of assets, estate planning, taxation, succession planning and liabilities and other risks.

Investment Philosophy​

Investment recommendations are based on value and opportunity, with a focus on:

  • investments that offer stable proven earnings and strong dividend or income returns to investors, in particular, for those in retirement

  • long term performance, not the short term volatility associated with markets

  • being on time in the markets, not timing the markets

  • ensuring that investment capital is not eroded by inflation

  • actively seeking unique investment opportunities

  • rigorously determining and then maintaining a preferred list of investments

  • building portfolios which preserve balance and diversity across asset classes, fund management, investment styles and sectors and regional allocation

  • ongoing review of market and client situations.

Our philosophy is based on the following elements.

Personal Insurance​

The purpose of our insurance recommendations is to ensure our clients are best placed to protect their personal and financial position from impacts caused by illness, injury, permanent incapacity, traumatic illness and death. This is achieved by:

  • recommending the most appropriate and affordable insurance policies from top rating insurance providers based on independent research

  • working with the client to arrange insurance cover that allows for existing medical conditions or non-conforming work arrangements

  • structuring the insurance policy to maximize tax concessions and incorporating the client's cash flow requirements.
