Testimonials

Brian and I have been with Craig Ellis for over 10 years. We are very pleased with our relationship with Craig who researches potential investments well and is very comfortable talking about the pros and cons of his suggestions.

He has achieved excellent results for our Super Fund and has done considerably better than the big Industry Funds without extra risk/variability. When Craig left his former employer we followed him. What better recommendation.

Gillian de Boos

Craig is tolerance personified. He and his team are always available and prepared to assist with sound advice and insight.

His understandings of my financial needs, and objectives are invariably well considered and suitably founded. His suggestions and advice are always to the point, and consistently exhibit clear and prudent thinking, applied to my particular needs.

Over the years of his assistance I have been most fortunate to be able to rely on Craig to understand and remember matters that might be important and particular to me. We can take such matters as a given, and concentrate on other things to achieve a superior result.

It is very difficult to imagine the circumstances whereby I would choose to terminate the relationship.

Alan Gray

The private wealth industry is heavily populated with good advisors.

However, Craig and his team stand out above the rest. This is due to his authenticity and empathy with his clients - along with the straight forward, common sense explanations and advice he provides. I rest easy knowing my family's wealth has a great shepherd.
