Investment Advice

Helping you invest is at the core of what we do. Whether you have come into new personal funds, or it is your existing superannuation, making the right investment decisions goes a long way in helping you get where you want to be.

Chris Galanis now spans over 30 years of investment experience starting with local investment and superannuation funds. Overseas experience provided exposure to large company pension funds and familiarity with overseas share markets. Working on different investment products over the years, Chris now brings his knowledge to help his fellow Australians invest easier.

Today, Chris helps people with their superannuation, whether your preferred set-up is a self-managed superannuation fund or an industry superannuation fund. You still need to be invested right. If your investment needs to stay outside of superannuation and in your personal name, Chris can still recommend the best way to manage this.

Today’s investment world is also a more complex one from 30 years ago. Shares, term-deposits and simple managed funds where the main investment options available to smaller mum and dad retail investors.

Over the past 20 years, the investment industry has evolved into one that has a much wider variety of investment products. These investment products have given us access to a wide range of countries and industries previously difficult to access. In addition, easy investment access to new technologies such as AI, robotics is also possible. We’re approaching a stage where if someone has an investment idea, you could probably access it via today’s investment markets. Today’s new technology investments such as cloud technology are an example.

These developments have created investment confusion for mum and dad investors but at the same time they have given us access to wider investments with the possibility of improving our investment returns.

Using this experience and his extended network of investment professionals which included current fund managers, Chris has access to good investment knowledge.

With his experience, Chris can cut through different investment products to gain the knowledge and understanding of what each different product offers. Popular products such as exchange traded funds (ETFs) are a good example. How they are structured and how they are traded on the share market is important. However, analysing the type of investment each ETF offers is vital. For instance, there are different types of ETFs investing in international stocks. Some ETFs are more concentrated than others. For instance, some funds might give you access to 500 international stocks whilst others keep it to 100 stocks. Knowing the underlying investments is important before making investment decisions.

In this manner, Chris helps his clients with access to a variety of products and helping his clients set-up the right portfolio for their circumstances.
