About Gavin

Hi, I’m Gavin, based Palmerston North, I first came to the area 20 years ago while working in aviation before deciding to follow my passion into personal finance and investing. I believe everyone should have access to sound financial advice whatever their life stage and this is one of the main motivators that led me to become an adviser. I enjoy being able to draw on 20 years experience as a property and stock market investor to help clients identify and support them to achieve their goals. Outside of work you’ll find me mixing up life with a healthy dose of the outdoors, studying, having a good laugh and spending time with family and friends.

My Three Golden Rules

  • The best investment you can make is in yourself
  • Success is whatever you want it to be
  • Understanding starts with listening

Neither Lifetime nor I have been subject to a reliability event. A reliability event is something that might influence you in deciding whether to seek advice from either myself or Lifetime. As an example, this would be a serious event such as legal proceedings against me, or bankruptcy in the last four years.
