What makes us different

Our Investment Approach

We believe that successful investing starts with understanding you, your goals, circumstances and ambitions. From there, we build an investment portfolio for you.

Our investment approach can be summarised in three areas:

Institutional grade discipline, personalised for you

We apply the same rigorous research and portfolio construction process used by the big investment firms, tailored to your family's needs.

We begin with the right asset allocation, balancing higher and lower-risk assets to reflect your circumstances.

Diversification & flexibility

Your portfolio is built across geographies, asset classes and investment types, wherever we see the greatest opportunity.

As discretionary investment managers, we make adjustments as markets shift, ensuring your wealth is always best positioned for your goals.

An ongoing partnership

We don't believe in “set and forget.” We believe that great wealth management is about an ongoing partnership, this includes regular reviews and ensuring your financial strategy evolves with your life.

We also offer family financial education sessions and access to our Moai community, helping you and your loved ones build confidence with all things finance.
