We are a privately owned wealth advisory firm that works with clients to enhance and preserve their personal wealth. Due to our extensive experience working in this area, we have developed an insight into appropriate and effective strategies that help clients meet their financial and lifestyle objectives.
In line with being a true professional services firm, our services are offered on a retainer fee basis via a transparent remuneration model. All service fees are discussed and finalised annually in advance. We do not earn commissions for investments or services recommended to clients.
Our sole focus is to ensure that our clients’ needs and objectives are met in the short, medium and long term. This is aligned to our professional obligations to maintain a duty of care and act in the best interests of our clients. Strategic and investment recommendations are formulated after careful analysis of a client’s full current situation, without any outside influence from product or service providers.
Peter and Counterpoint Private Wealth Pty Ltd are Authorised Representative of Paragem Pty Ltd (AFSL No. 297276).
When considering any advice we provide, we take into consideration your total wealth position and advise on how to best maximise your current situation and fill any gaps you may have. Our holistic advice can cover the following main areas:
We will work with you to define your financial and lifestyle goals, including making sure you have the right investment strategies and structures in place.
We believe it is imperative to be able to select from the widest range of investments possible to construct an appropriate portfolio. All portfolios are tailored to personal circumstances and managed in line with your personal needs and objectives. Our approach to asset management is not set-and-forget, but rather one where strategic changes are made when underlying fundamentals suggest rebalancing is necessary.
Superannuation is a key component in the accumulation of assets for future wealth and financial security. We advise on all aspects of superannuation benefits, including the development of annual contribution and pension strategies; management of investment portfolios; and ensuring your benefits are properly incorporated into your estate plan. We also advise on the ongoing management of SMSFs.
Insurance is an often overlooked area of personal and financial life goals; no one likes to think now about what insurable events might happen in the future. Our job is to ask you the right questions to ensure that you and your family are covered for unfortunate events. We will discuss your life, total and permanent disability, trauma and income protection insurance needs.
There are many things to consider in a carefully constructed estate plan (e.g. Wills, Powers of Attorney) or succession plan (e.g. business ownership, buy/sell agreements). For this reason, we work alongside specialist solicitors to ensure every aspect of your personal, business and financial life will be dealt with in accordance with your wishes.
Our sole focus is to ensure that our clients’ needs and objectives are met in the short, medium and long term.
