Your Financial World
At Altus, the focus is on emotions, as well as the numbers. By weighing the financial and emotional consequences of every decision, we help you build a financial foundation that supports your goals and most importantly, your happiness.
We're in This Together
Feeling knowledgeable and empowered about your money and investments is a huge part of relieving financial stress and building trust. We want you to be confident that your adviser “gets you”. We believe in complete transparency and empowering our clients.
A Way Forward Reimagined
Your full financial world is stored in our advisers’ brains, not just in a computer file they glance at every few months. We're always on the lookout for new opportunities or threats, and you enjoy highly-personalised and responsive service from an adviser who is focused on your unique goals.
Innovative Thinking
Resting on our laurels isn’t in our DNA because we believe great work doesn’t happen by accident. We never follow in the footsteps of other firms. Partner with us and experience our award-winning innovative advice.
With your goals always in mind, financial planning allows you to consistently build your wealth and attain financial freedom. Starting from where you are now, our financial advisers assist you in creating a personalised plan that acknowledges your attitude toward risk, time horizon, investment preferences, cash flow and borrowing capacity. Ultimately, financial planning is about achieving the lifestyle you’ve always wanted.
Your march toward financial freedom will be smoother with a personalised cash flow management plan. With your liquid resources constantly in flux, a harmonised plan will ensure sufficient funds for your ongoing requirements while your wealth continues to grow. We can balance out your cash flow so all needs are met.
Investments are the engine of your wealth machine, so they must be carefully chosen and pursued. Our specialists can create a custom solution to deliver the financial outcomes you’re seeking, always aligning your investments with your liquidity requirements, personal time horizon and financial goals.
If you’re ready for a structured, disciplined investment strategy, Model Portfolio may be the solution you’ve been looking for. Leave ad hoc investing behind, and take advantage of the many benefits of Model Portfolio, such as our quarterly rebalancing process and automatic asset allocations that match your planned risk tolerance level.
Too busy for daily personal financial details? We provide an end-to-end service to take care of your whole financial world. Use your time to focus on what you do best while we manage everything from high-end strategy implementation and accounting right down to paying bills and acting as your private mailbox.
An inheritance almost always comes with a loss, and because of this, it can be difficult to manage the funds without emotion. Let us guide you as you make decisions about your windfall so you can avoid unnecessary taxes, incorporate your inheritance into your overall financial goals and review your insurance and estate planning needs.
Divorce affects more than just your personal life; it also creates significant changes in your financial life. If you’re involved in or anticipating a divorce, meet with one of our advisors to dispel fear and provide clarity. We can help you with managing your assets and creating a financial plan that will help you to move forward with confidence.
The sooner you address the issues facing your redundancy, the sooner you’ll be back on track with your financial goals. With a knowledgeable advisor at your side, you can make decisions that will consider tax implications, liquidity concerns, pension entitlements and your long-term financial goals. Don’t let the uncertainty of your situation derail your finances. Meet with an advisor to develop the best course of action.
With so many details to plan for your relocation, you may need a helping hand with your finances. We can help you by starting with a review of your assets and how they will be best protected and organised for the move. Whether you’re leaving Australia or arriving from overseas, you’ll need to consider the implications for your superannuation, taxes, insurance, loans and investments. We can help.
You want to give your child every opportunity, including education options in the future. By using strategies such as managed investments, prepaid education, insurance bonds, grandparent contributions and education bonds, our advisors can help you to craft an education funding strategy that will adequately meet your family’s needs. The sooner you begin this process, the more options you’ll have.
