Specialty Areas of Advice

Investment Visa

What Our Clients Say
Bradley Nuttall have been my financial advisers in Christchurch and investment planning specialists for the last five years. During this time, I have been impressed and delighted with all aspects of their work.
Their customer service orientation is exemplary. They are easily accessible and can communicate the more complex nature of investing to a layperson in plain English. No question is off-limits, and they always take it seriously.
They visit in person each year. Because of this, my understanding of financial investment has grown substantially, which has meant I’m more informed and confident about the investment decisions I make.
The investing methods and criteria they use to inform their investment work are their own and backed by ongoing evidence over time.
Because of their intelligent and robust approach, I trust them fully. This greatly comforts an investor, especially during a pandemic and a global financial crisis.
Being a client of Bradley Nuttall means a tremendous amount to me. I know my investment is in safe and thoughtful hands, that I will be kept regularly informed about my portfolio, that I can ask questions at any time and be taken seriously, and that my needs for my financial future are carefully and respectfully made possible.

Our Financial
Planning Approach
Achieving financial freedom and financial stability is more than simply investing funds successfully. An independent adviser ensures that you have a financial plan to give you a secure future and provides the framework to monitor plans while potentially planning for the next generation.
“Achieving your financial goals is our ultimate success.”
What is Financial Advice?
Financial advice is professional guidance provided by a qualified and licensed firm to help you make confident, informed decisions about your money and your future. It covers a wide range of areas, including investment planning, retirement planning, tax planning, estate planning, personal insurance, and cash-flow management. At Bradley Nuttall, our financial advisers in Christchurch and Nelson specialise in investment advice, financial and retirement planning, and KiwiSaver, helping you build clarity, confidence, and long-term financial security.
What should I consider when choosing a financial adviser?
Choosing the right financial adviser is an important decision. A good adviser should not only be qualified, but also experienced, independent, and transparent in how they operate. Key things to consider include:
Licensed Advice Provider
Ensure the adviser or firm is licensed by the Financial Markets Authority (FMA). This confirms they meet New Zealand’s regulatory standards and operate under appropriate professional and compliance requirements. You can verify this through the Financial Services Provider Register (FSPR).
Experience and Qualifications
Look for advisers with strong professional qualifications and substantial industry experience. For investment advice, a long track record (preferably greater than 20 years) in financial markets is especially important. Experience through different market cycles provides valuable insight and perspective. You can view our experienced team to learn more about our advisers’ backgrounds.
Independence
Independent advisers are not tied to any specific product providers. This means their advice is based solely on what is best for you, not on commissions or sales incentives. Independence helps ensure recommendations are objective, transparent, and client-focused.
Fees and Transparency
Understand how the adviser is paid and ensure their fee structure is clear, fair, and aligned with your needs and budget. Transparent fees allow you to see exactly what you are paying for and how the advice adds value.
Together, these factors help ensure you receive advice that is professional, unbiased, and truly focused on your long-term financial wellbeing.
How much will a financial advisor cost?
We are a fee-only firm. This means we do not receive commissions or incentives from product providers and are paid solely by our clients. As a result, you can be confident that our advice is independent and always focused on what is best for you.
All fees are fully disclosed in advance, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. There are no hidden costs or surprises.
As financial advisers in Christchurch and Nelson, our approach is to build long-term relationships with our clients. Our fee structure reflects this, with low initial fees for investment and financial planning, and competitive ongoing fees for investment management and advice.
Full details of our fees are available in our Disclosure Statement.
