I met with several Significant Investor Visa firms before making a decision. From the start, Ord Minnett impressed me with their professional approach and knowledge of the SIV system. The advice and personalised service received from Brett and Luke is amazing. Their communication is great and any queries or questions I ask are answered promptly. I have no hesitation in recommending their services with complete confidence and trust.

J.B. - Belgium

I met Brett Waller and Luke Headland in April 2016 when I was considering migrating to Australia. I needed advice on a portfolio of investments I was required to acquire for visa purposes. They provided a simple, clear, and transparent solution with reputable funds, they had clearly and comprehensively completed their due diligence, and knew the funds well. They were then beneficial during the process of transferring the funds and seamlessly acquiring the investments. Luke and Brett are professional financial advisers who can be trusted and relied upon.

R. H. - South Africa, Fund Manager

Being new to Australia, we did not know the Australian market and were very worried about where to invest our $5M. The Ord Minnett team did not sell us an SIV fund but built a compliant SIV portfolio that suited our needs. Over the past few years, the portfolio has worked very well, and We are very comfortable having Ord Minnett look after our portfolio. Our SIV Relationship Manager has shown professionalism and knowledge while helping us along the way. It has been a very pleasant journey with Ord Minnett.

Liu Dong Qing - China

Brett and the Ord Minnett team deliver a truly professional Significant Investor Visa Service. They offered me great personalised investment advice, which suits me well. They always put my interests first and helped me all the way through to my application for Australian Permanent Residency. I would happily recommend them.

Paul Li - China, Chairman, Pioneer Pharma, China

When I was first choosing the $5 million investment method I was physically in China, making a choice could be described as blind. After coming to Australia and living here for one year, I met with Luke and Brett’s team. They learned my investment purpose and principles, tailored my needs, and combined them with their professional judgment for my investment portfolio. Within the scope of permission, they help me to alter my portfolio, and each year they communicate the suggested changes to make. During my investment period with the team, I have recognised their professionalism and customer-oriented attitude, and I am confident to invest with them.
