How we work
From first conversation to long, quiet stewardship.
Every relationship moves through the same deliberate sequence. The shape of it is what keeps advice clear, decisions calm and the relationship steady through the chapters of a life — careers, families, transitions, retirement and beyond.
A six-step relationship
From a first conversation to a long, quietly looked-after relationship.
- 01
Discovery
A confidential conversation — about where you are, what you're weighing up, the people who depend on you, and what you'd like the next chapter to look like.
- 02
Strategic Planning
A clear read of your current position, modelling of the long road ahead, and a written plan you can sit with, question, and return to.
- 03
Investment Structuring
Choosing the right mix across local and offshore — aligned to your goals, your comfort with movement, your time horizon and your tax situation.
- 04
Digital FICA & Onboarding
A short, mobile-friendly onboarding — typically under ten minutes — so the formal side gets done quickly and quietly, without interrupting your week.
- 05
Portfolio Implementation
Your plan put into effect through institutional partners, with every instruction, statement and record kept safely on your private file.
- 06
Ongoing Relationship & Review
Scheduled reviews, professional oversight of your portfolio, and a familiar voice on the line for the moments — good and difficult — that don't fit a calendar.
Inside onboarding
The formal steps, kept quietly out of your way.
Steps three to five above — structuring, FICA and implementation — are supported by a short, mobile-first workflow. No printed forms, no posting documents, no couriers. Typically completed in under ten minutes of your time.
- 01
Intro call
A short phone conversation to understand what you're looking for — no obligation.
- 02
Teams meeting
A deeper discovery session on Microsoft Teams covering goals, structure and current arrangements.
- 03
Disclosures & questionnaire
Our FSP disclosures and a financial needs questionnaire sent to you to complete.
- 04
Analysis & proposal
Your existing portfolio is pulled and analysed, with clear recommendations and a written proposal presented to you.
- 05
FICA & AML — digital
If you elect to proceed, FICA and AML checks are completed digitally — upload documents straight from your phone.
- 06
Sign quotes
Final quotes signed electronically — no printing, no scanning, no couriers.
- 07
Record of Advice
You receive a formal Record of Advice documenting the recommendations and your decisions.
Ongoing stewardship
A continuous, looked-after relationship — not an annual phone call.
Once your plan is in place, the work doesn't stop — it changes shape. Your portfolio is professionally watched, your circumstances are revisited on a defined rhythm, and your advisor is on hand for the moments that don't sit on a calendar.
- 01
Quiet monitoring
Continuous oversight of your portfolio against your plan — so drift is caught early, not later.
- 02
Steady decisions
Investment decisions made calmly by a qualified team — never in a hurry, never alone.
- 03
Scheduled review
A proper sit-down on a defined rhythm — circumstances revisited, plan reconfirmed, questions answered.
- 04
There for the moments
A bonus, a sale, a loss, a life change — a familiar voice to think it through with, before any decision is made.
A private conversation
Begin a quiet conversation.
A confidential discussion about where you are, the decisions ahead and whether our approach is the right fit for you and your family. Unhurried, considered and without obligation.
