Services and Fees

We offer holistic financial advice to clients who value a high level of personal service.

“We are so thankful that you showed us a range of alternative strategies – not just the gearing approach suggested by our previous adviser. Our portfolio is just not exposed to that type
of risk”

David, Psychologist

Our advisory service is refreshingly different. We provide:

  • A perspective that includes your whole world – including your individual, business, trust matters
  • A range of alternative strategy options for you to consider before we develop your full financial plan
  • Forward-looking asset return forecasts rather than a view based on past returns
  • Guidance on alternative portfolios to preserve your money long term.

Fairer Fees

The fee for our comprehensive financial planning is an agreed dollar amount that is determined based on the complexity and effort to develop your financial advice. We have no hidden fees or commissions, nor do we accept incentives.

“I hated paying commissions to some no-name adviser. You’ve given me great advice and saved me money

Shaun, Program Director

Our flat fee gives you these key benefits:

  • No conflict of interest: Our advice is objective and not influenced by the need to sell products or capture a greater value of assets under our advice
  • Certainty: You clearly know the fee before you engage us. Many people are dismayed to find that a ‘fee for service’ adviser has levied commissions on products only at the end of the process when they have received their written plan
  • Better value for money: Industry research by Rice Warner Actuaries (2009) shows that for most cases an agreed fee is significantly cheaper than commissions or a percentage of assets. That’s because, as your assets grow in value, our flat fee does not automatically follow suit.
  • Direct access: You can contact us by phone or email whenever you have questions or just to check that everything is on track.
