Meet our Adelaide team

The Adelaide office was established more than 16 years ago and has been a part of the Aware Investment Management Group team for almost three years. We provide financial advice to clients in Adelaide and Alice Springs.  The office is operated by three staff, including two certified financial planners (CFP) who have been in the industry for over 30 years. We have a strong relationship with our clients and pride ourselves on delivering a professional service.

CFP® and FPA Professional Practice - what do they mean? Our advisers are constantly furthering their knowledge and skills. Several of our advisers have been accredited as Certified Financial Planners® whilst others are working toward this highly regarded Mark. CFP® certification is the global symbol of excellence in financial planning. It is awarded by the Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA) to individuals who have gone beyond the competency, ethics and professional standards of other FPA practitioner members. Each year CFP® Professionals must renew their right to use the Mark.

Our office has also been accredited as an FPA Professional Practice. By awarding this title, FPA recognises that Aware Investment Management Group is a financial planning practice people can trust. Only practices providing the highest quality financial advice in their community can use the title. To date there are just 30 FPA Professional Practices in Australia.

As a client, choosing CFP® professional and an FPA Professional Practice gives you confidence that the advice you receive will be of the highest standard. To find out more about the FPA's standards for membership, CFP® professionals and Professional Practices click here.
