Investments
Investing means becoming wealthier by buying and sometimes selling assets that provide income while you hold them and capital when you sell them.
There are two ways to invest and three broad types of investment. We can assist you with all of them.
The two ways to invest are directly or indirectly. Direct investment is where you buy and hold investment assets in your own name (or in the name of some entity that you control, such as a family trust or a self-managed super fund). If direct investment is what you are after, we can help you find the right investments to make and the right ways to manage those investments. A big part of this is making sure that you buy the asset in the right hands. Sometimes this is yourself, but sometimes it is not.
Indirect investment is where you employ an investment manager to buy and hold investment assets on your behalf. We can assist you to identify the managed investment option or options that best suits your circumstance and your goals, and then show you how to access the particular benefits of managed investments to minimise your risk.
The three broad things in which you can invest are shares, property and cash fixed/interest. The specific choice of investment types, and the way in which you mix these choices within your portfolio, is different for each person.
We take the time to assist you to identify which type or types of asset class makes most sense, and then assist you to make either a direct or indirect investment accordingly.

Whether you agree with his politics or not, one thing is clear: Trump's leadership often brings significant changes, and this time is no different.

What is Risk, Really?
We recently engaged with an insightful video presentation by Howard Marks, author of The Most Important Thing Illuminated: Uncommon Sense for the Thoughtful Investor. He emphasises that risk is not just about volatility but the probability of loss. Marks highlights the many forms of risk, such as missing opportunities or being forced to sell at a low point, and provides key points on understanding and managing risk wisely. His counterintuitive insights, like how an asset’s price drop can make it less risky, are particularly thought-provoking.
