Nick’s primary focus is advising people with sudden, often unexpected wealth.
He helps them adapt, plan and preserve their capital. The wealth may be the result of an inheritance, loss of a life partner, divorce, lotto win, sale of a business, insurance payout or a rise to fame in the sports or entertainment areas.
Nick’s empathy with clients and his experience as a leading adviser in the UK make him uniquely qualified for this role. He has a particular skill in building long term trusted relationships with clients based on understanding their holistic planning needs.
Dan’s primary focus is to help clients achieve their financial goals.
He has spent almost two decades in the investment management and financial advice industries, advising Private Clients, Trusts and Charities, and helping them to achieve their financial goals. Having spent the first half of his career in the UK, Dan brought his global experience to New Zealand with the core ambition to help investors understand evidence-based investing and how to make smart decisions with their money.
In his experience, the difference between investing and speculating is not well understood and can lead to poor decision making. Dan has a deep passion for financial markets and enjoys explaining to clients the underlying principles of how they operate. Understanding how the markets work is the first step towards harnessing them in the pursuit of higher expected long-term returns.
