Testimonials

As Ben’s parents, we want to share our experience working with Ben Hackett, Financial Adviser at Ord Minnett. Moving towards our 60s, we knew it was time to get serious about retirement planning and wealth management. For years we sat in a standard retail super fund with no real guidance, and the transition into a professionally managed portfolio felt like a big step, even more so, putting our trust in our own son. Ben has guided us through every stage of this journey with clarity, care, and expertise. He helped us move from a basic retail super account into a tailored strategy with the resources and experience of Ord Minnett behind him.

The combination of personal service, professional advice, and consistent results has given us both peace of mind and confidence in our retirement. We know people searching for a financial adviser want someone who listens, communicates clearly, delivers strong outcomes, and genuinely cares. That has been our experience with Ben Hackett at Ord Minnett. As parents and clients, we couldn’t be prouder — and we recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone seeking trusted advice in wealth management, superannuation, and retirement planning.

Sue & Brad Hackett

I have been a client of Ben Hackett and Sam Wales for just over two years after having transferred all my family’s accounts from a competitor firm that could no longer meet my ETO trading needs. My first practical experience of the high level of professionalism and expertise of Ben and Sam was the seamless transition from my old firm that was managed by them. Whilst you may think that’s to be expected to win over a new client, I can attest that since then, nothing has changed with that level of service. I find Ben and Sam are good listeners, resourceful and knowledgeable. Most importantly in the current volatile environment, they are responsive to my needs.
