You are required to check all boxes to proceed.

The service levels I offer for investing fall into four categories:

KiwiSaver Only 
The KiwiSaver Advice Service is ideal if you have a specific savings goal, such as for a first home purchase or retirement. I will gather information about your savings goals. We’ll determine your Risk Profile by completing a questionnaire (either in person or online) and agree on an investment strategy that matches your financial goals and risk tolerance.

You will receive a Statement of Advice that outlines my recommendations, along with an investment projection to show a likely outcome and assess whether you’re on track to meet your goals.

Investment Plan/Retirement Plan 
An investment or Retirement Plan is ideal if you have a specific amount of money to invest, either as a lump sum or through regular contributions, and you need assistance in selecting the best investment options for your goals. This plan will likely also include advice around Kiwisaver Investments.

This service focuses only on the money you want to invest now. I won’t analyse your overall financial situation, (Mortgage, Insurance, Estate Planning etc.), which means the recommendations might not fully integrate with other aspects of your financial picture.

I will gather relevant details about your financial situation through a Needs Analysis process and discuss any investment preferences you have. We’ll determine your Risk Profile through a questionnaire and discuss your financial goals going forward.

Once I have sufficient information on your situation, I will provide a Statement of Advice outlining my recommendations, along with an investment projection to show a likely outcome.

Full Financial plan
We offer a full suite of planning at Cole Murray -. I will gather relevant details about your financial situation and any investment preferences you have. We’ll determine your Risk Profile through a questionnaire, then agree on an investment strategy/retirement strategy that fits your risk tolerance. I will provide written recommendations for a portfolio that aligns with the strategy we’ve agreed on and your specific preferences. I will analyse your overall financial situation. You will receive a Statement of Advice that outlines my recommendations, along with an investment projection to show a likely outcome and assess whether you’re on track to meet your goals. Then I will refer you to other specialist advisers within Cole Murray to help you with your overall goals. This could include Mortgage, Life Insurance and General Insurance.

Transaction Only Service
A Transaction-Only Service is a good fit if you already know where you want to invest your money and don’t need any advice. I will only collect the basic information needed to complete the transaction, like verifying your identity, but I won’t assess your financial situation or whether the investment is suitable for you. This means you could take on more risk than you’re comfortable with, or you might lose money. You’ll get confirmation once the funds are invested, but I won’t provide a detailed report.
