About EQ Wealth

Giving You the Power to Create Financial Independence

We’re breaking the stereotypes surrounding wealth creation and money management and bring a unique personal touch as we guide people through financial decisions at every stage of their life.

We take the time to find out what you value most so that we can offer tailored advice and financial services to help you reach your goals without sacrificing your lifestyle.

We specialise in working with women but have successfully helped clients from all walks of life, acting as a sounding board and trusted advisor. We love to educate our clients without the need for over-complicated technical jargon or underestimating your willingness to push the boundaries.

Achieving financial independence requires long-term thinking and a strategic plan that’s constructed for the bigger picture. That’s why relationship building is so important to everyone at EQ Wealth. We’re by your side through every stage of your journey through life.

 The CARE Investment Philosophy   logo_carephilosophy

Every investment decision we make is driven by our CARE philosophy: a sophisticated and robust process that helps you make smart decisions.

Your investments will be selected according to your individual needs, risk profile and financial goals, with daily portfolio management by our qualified and experienced investment committee. We’ll also take care of all your administrative needs and work in consultation with your accountant, lawyer and other advisers, to reduce costs and maximise tax advantages for you and your family.

Our CARE philosophy is made up of four key components, which combine to form the foundation of your investment portfolio and the first step on your pathway to wealth:

Core Investments

These investments are carefully selected by our team to match your risk profile. They’ll usually include a combination of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and fixed interest funds, to help you gain exposure to the market.

Active Investments

We’ll incorporate a tactical blend of Australian and global shares, emerging markets, global small companies and gold in your portfolio. Your active investments are designed to smooth out the volatility of individual sectors and provide you with a nice, consistent overall return.

Reserves

Your portfolio will include up to four years of cash reserves, to provide a buffer against any adverse market conditions that can last up to 7 years. This offers peace of mind and helps you stay focused on your long-term goals.

Enhanced Returns

These portfolios are made up of either Australian direct shares or overseas shares, held either directly or through managed funds or ETF’s, which adds value to your portfolio and can enhance your returns over time.

The number one lesson? Don’t ‘Mess It Up’

Our CARE philosophy is designed to help you make smart decisions about your investment portfolio, so you can protect the wealth that you’ve worked so hard to create. To help you avoid the most common investment pitfalls and mistakes, we use the ‘MESS IT UP’ acronym:

Media: We don’t get caught up in the hype of bad news stories or gossip from people who aren’t informed, but stay focused on the bigger picture.

Emotion: We make sure you never make an investment decision based solely on your emotions or reaction to a market drop or increase.

Short-term focus: We don’t focus on what’s hot right now in shares or managed funds, but look at where your investments will be in the future.

Single issues: We don’t get caught up in issues like the latest international crisis, the current oil price or what the US President said yesterday.

Illiquidity: Not having enough cash reserves makes you vulnerable, so we assess how much liquidity you have on an annual basis.

Timing: We believe it’s all about ‘time in the market’ not ‘timing the market’, because wealth is built slowly and steadily over time.

Under-diversification: We don’t tie your success to individual companies, but diversify your portfolio to reduce your risk and improve your returns.

Performance: We strive for long-term market returns, rather than trying to sneakily outperform the market. It never works and we know it.
