What exactly do financial planners do?

The simple answer is – a financial planner helps you achieve your financial goals.

At Investment Zone we help people at all stages of their lives, from budgeting, to investing, growing and protecting wealth, to retirement. We want you to live the life you want to live. Our typical clients are professionals and business owners who are halfway through their working life and they have big plans for their future.

We help them to understand their goals and how their investments (including super) should be best working for them; in addition to how to protect them. Your goals and circumstances will change throughout your life. We will partner with you along the way and adjust your Financial Plan to ensure we continue to achieve your goals.

There are many types of investment to choose from.

Some are perfect for beginners, while others will require advice and experience.

Whether it’s taking a more active interest in our superannuation, starting to build an investment portfolio, or even trying our hands at playing the stock market, we can all benefit by understanding the language and key concepts of investing.

We can help you understand your risk comfort level, and design an investment strategy that’s right for you.

A lifetime of super – and it’s not just about retirement.

The key to life is living, not retiring, but there may come a time in your life when you want to change what you’ve been doing and either stop working completely, or take a long holiday and work out what’s next.

To be able to have this choice though, it’s imperative that you plan ahead, even if you think retirement is for everyone else.

You understand the importance of insurance for your home and your car. You may even have health insurance too.

Are you familiar with insurances that look after you and your family if something happens to you?

The types of insurance that we help people with are:

  • Life Insurance
  • Total Permanent Disability
  • Income Protection
  • Trauma Insurance

We help you work out what you need and the best insurance products for your situation.

Property Investment and Real Estate is an area of advice some Financial Planners help may assist you to understand when you may be able to consider entering into the property market by analyzing your overall position, deposit and cashflow.

Not getting this right can really hold people back from growing their wealth, as property is a major asset class for most people.

Testimonials

I first heard about Investment Zone at one of the events they ran at the Royal Yacht Squadron in Lota. They hosted 2x speakers who were managers of some of the funds Brad invests his clients’ money with. I was very impressed with the content of these speakers and the investing methodology they adopt. From there, I had an initial meeting with Brad and I loved that he made time (at no cost) to get to understand my situation and investing goals. I was also very impressed with how Brad took a holistic view of long term financial future instead of just giving some mainstream advice. This included a look back at the history of the investment cycle and how this influenced his strategy for my portfolio as well as a review of my day to day budget and expenses. The financial plan he compiled was extremely thorough and I could clearly see that he had understood my goals and provided a comprehensive plan on how to go about reaching them. The other beauty of Investment Zone was that aside an initial fee their ongoing management costs come out of super so it hasn’t meant a hand break on my cash flow and other investments I have outside of Investment Zone, i.e. my subdivision project.

We were referred to Brad at Investment Zone as we were looking to have our insurances reviewed and aligned with our current needs. Brad was very informative and knowledgeable, taking the time to do a thorough analysis of what our needs were and what would best suit us whilst ensuring everything would fit within our financial budget. Brad took the time to understand what we wanted and provide us with options that suited us, not his company and it's this approach that showed us he really cares about doing what's right for the customer. Hard to find this quality today. We are very pleased with the outcome Brad provided and will definitely continue to work with Brad in the future as our requirements change. We have no hesitation in recommending Brad and the Investment Zone team to anyone.

Brad and the Investment Zone team worked with us very closely and considered our individual needs when it came to our financial and insurance needs. Brad explained everything in great detail and we now have a great deal of comfort that we are covered should the worst occur. We highly recommend Brad to all our friends!
Kellie & James W
I’d most definitely recommend Investment Zone. Right from the word go, Brad made things very simple. Brad came highly recommended and I can now see why. I would happily recommend Brad and the Investment Zone team to anyone interested in getting their life and finances on track. For someone who’s not in the finance industry, it was a pleasure to have someone speak to me in my terms and understand what they do and what they would like to achieve for us. It gave us great satisfaction. When it’s something that seems like a minefield for yourself and for your family, why second guess it?

I approached Brad at Investment Zone because my husband and I were looking for some expert guidance in our financial planning. Brad helped us by sharing his financial knowledge and experience. Brad and the staff at Investment Zone have assisted us in putting into place financial plans that we know will pay off in the future. He has made things simple and easy to understand. We know his recommendations are made with care, consideration, and professionalism. I highly recommend Investment Zone for financial planning and advice.
Michelle & Jeff H
Brad has been great in explaining the investment strategies so we understand where our super is invested. By reviewing our insurance policies, he secured better cover for us and saved over $2,000 on policies that were not applicable to our circumstances.
Eric & Louise O
Joining Investment Zone is the best thing I’ve ever done for my financial future. From the first call, to sitting down with Brad, they were simply fantastic with answering all of my questions and made it so that I could understand what was going on with my portfolio. There were questions that others hadn’t answered for me and since being with Investment Zone I feel rest assured that those questions, and anything else that comes up, regardless of how trivial, how small or even how big they are, will be answered for me. With that knowledge, I’d pass onto my friends and family, and anyone else that asks me about financial matters - “don’t ask me, ask the team at Investment Zone. Talk to Brad, give the guys a call, set up a meeting.” I have already recommended Investment Zone to friends, family, and business acquaintances. It can’t hurt to ask those questions and I’m so glad that I did.
