What our clients say
“ Andy Hyland has been our financial adviser since 2021. Andy is very easy to work with and we value the advice given to date, we both retired early in 2023. Andy has impressed us with his regular and ongoing communication and we look forward to this relationship continuing through our retirement years."

—Bob and Lorraine, Dunedin
“After numerous adviser changes, I found Andy purely by chance. Andy prioritises trust and client well-being, providing personalised advice, without “selling” products. Andy's calm demeanour, attentive listening, and evidence-based approach in financial planning stands out. His guidance offers foresight for long-term financial well-being, fostering trust and personalised advice that aligns with the client's best interests, setting a foundation for achieving long-term financial goals.”
—Dr. Padmanathan, Wellington
“I have worked with the team at Bradley Nuttall Otago for many years. The trusts I am involved with have valued the independent advice we have received, including the formulation of the asset allocation required to achieve our investment outcomes. This has allowed us to focus on our charitable activities knowing the funds invested are able to meet the commitments we have made."
— Stuart, professional trustee, Dunedin
Frequent investor questions
-
Investment planning strategically sets and achieves financial goals through resource allocation.
We assess your situation, risk tolerance, and objectives for a personalised portfolio. Key elements include goal identification, time horizon, risk assessment, and selecting suitable investments. Diversification, asset allocation, and periodic reviews optimise returns and mitigate risks. The aim is to align resources with long-term objectives like wealth accumulation, retirement, or milestone funding.
-
We follow an asset class investment philosophy which aims to deliver returns from each asset class with minimal costs. We aim to ensures investors are appropriately rewarded for the investment risks they take. The benefits of this approach are broad diversification; reduced volatility; lower risk; lower fees, and enhanced returns. Visit “Investments” page for further details.
-
Rest easy knowing that your invested funds are securely held in trust by FNZ Custodians. At no point in the investment process does Bradley Nuttall Otago Limited retain any client assets; rather, we serve as your adviser, entrusting the custody of your assets to FNZ Custodians —a multinational company managing custody platforms globally with over $100 billion in client assets.
-
Financial planning is a dynamic process that goes beyond investments. It involves managing resources for short and long-term goals, including budgeting, investment, estate planning, and more. While investment planning focuses on returns, financial planning integrates decisions into a cohesive strategy, considering individual circumstances and life goals for holistic financial well-being.
