About Us
Genius Finservices is a fee based financial planning firm providing holistic solutions in personal finance. We help people understand their current financial situation, create and prioritize financial goals, and develop a sensible plan to reach or exceed those goals.
Why we do! what we do!
We are a boutique wealth advisory business, focused upon delivering a broad and innovative range of solutions to building and preserving your wealth.
We enjoy working with our clients in a long term process so as to enable them to reach their goals and feel confident with their financial future.
Our values are founded upon ensuring that you have control over your money, rather than a common ailment whereby money has control over you and your future.
Our Process
Our initial focus is to identify the goals that are meaningful to you. This is your destination.
We then examine your resources, and align your money in the direction of your goals.
Our recommendations are going to be based upon core scientific principles so as to maximise the opportunity for your risks to be rewarded.
The result is a clarity of direction and a peace of mind that you have implemented a plan to control your money and maximise it’s potential over the long term.
We will meet with you on a regular basis depending upon your needs, so as to ensure that your money remains in alignment with your vision. This may arise through a variety of reasons, for example, tax changes, investment market opportunities or personal circumstances.
This is why it pays to have your goals in concrete, and your plans in sand.
Fee Schedule
Please refer to our Financial Services Guide for all fees at the time of your first visit.
What we stand for and What we stand against
As wealth advisors, we will recommend investment opportunities for you. Our core philosophy is founded upon proven, successful academic investment principles. We remain steadfast in our belief that markets are efficient over the long term, and you will be wise to allow your money to be rewarded via capital market returns, rather than the common belief that you can stock pick or market time asset classes on an ad-hoc basis.
