Our Services

Our Values

Transparency

We will uphold the highest ethical standards, ensuring your peace of mind. We use common sense and plain English to cut through the jargon of superannuation and financial products, demystifying the complex areas of investment, financial and retirement planning.

Tailor-made Solutions

Everybody has unique needs, so why use only one solution? We take the time to construct, manage and tailor-make investment portfolios. By using direct solutions, rather than just a conglomeration of funds, we can match your needs with the prevailing investment and economic climate.

Fee for Service – No Commissions

We believe this remuneration model is most ethical and transparent, and as a client you know what to expect: a set cost for a set service over a set period of time. This model puts the focus on STRATEGY, not PRODUCT, and allows us to choose the most suitable options from a wide array of products.

Experience

Darren has been a Financial Planner since 1999 after completing his Bachelor of Commerce and his Graduate Diploma in Applied Finance & Investment. He is a qualified Self-Managed Super Fund Specialist Adviser (SSATM), Financial Planner (AFPTM) and Investment Adviser.

Communication

We keep in touch. A five-minute phone call once a fortnight can deliver more value than even the most in-depth review once per year. Needs change, markets change and so too will your plans.

Flexibility

Our business structure allows us to choose investment products that truly suit your needs and financial objectives. Being flexible, we are also available to meet with you at a place of your convenience.
