Investment Advisory
Disciplined, goals-based investing – built on rigorous research and designed to perform through market cycles.
Good investing is not about chasing the last dollar of return from a mature market cycle. It is about building a portfolio that participates meaningfully when markets rise and, through methodical risk management, reduces the impact when they fall. As trusted investment advisers based in Sydney, our approach to investment advisory and planning is built around your goals, your time horizon and your tolerance for risk – not a one-size-fits-all model.
Who this is for
You're working to goals
You want a portfolio built around your own goals and timeframe, not a one-size-fits-all model.
You think long term
You know the hardest part of investing is staying the course, and you want a steady hand to keep you on plan when markets get noisy.
You want objectivity
You want advice that answers to you, not product recommendations shaped by someone else's targets.
You've come into wealth
You’ve sold a business, received an inheritance or built substantial wealth, and want it invested with care and discipline.
You value expertise
You value deep research and want expert insight behind your investments.
Oversight you can see
Our Investment Committee, chaired by Family Wealth Advisory, with Mercer and independent strategist Brad Matthews, meets at a regular cadence to review positioning, performance and risk. You receive clear, jargon-free reporting and direct access to your adviser between meetings. Where portfolios are managed through a managed-account structure, assets are held in independent custody, and you retain legal and beneficial ownership at all times.

My only regret is not having met Michael and his fabulous team years ago. Retaining Family Wealth Advisory was the best financial decision my family ever made. Michael’s advice is considered, well documented and easy to understand – his team are an absolute pleasure to deal with.
