There’s a reason more than 15,000 clients trust MiQ advisers like me to manage their wealth.
“Have been with MiQ for the past 15 years and still very happy.

The strong relationships we share with our clients are testament to our commitment to integrity, honesty and creating financial wellbeing.
"As a qualified lawyer and more recently a small business operator, I seem to have weathered numerous financial storms of late. Against this uncertain background, I have consistently found my adviser's financial advice to be sound and reliable.
His professionalism is unquestionable… as we all know, the news is not always what the investor wants to hear, but David seems able to keep me up to date across the markets and provides regular wise guidance about short and long terms investment goals against the current financial climate."

‘Good financial advice is about alignment – understanding each client’s long-term objectives, and aligning their financial reality with those goals.
And that does involve developing a wealth creation strategy.
But every investment needs to be balanced by other considerations.
How is the wealth you create being protected?
How is the advice from your professional team – your solicitor, your broker, your tax adviser, your super specialist – being integrated in the context of your goals?
How are you monitoring your progress towards those goals?
And that’s what MiQ is.
A holistic wealth advisory that sits at the centre of your financial world – aligning, guiding, and stewarding you towards your ideal tomorrow.’
Chairman, MiQ
Your first appointment with me is usually free. I offer initial consultations so you can evaluate whether I’m the right person to help you manage your wealth.
All appointments, including your initial consultation, can be held online or in person at one of our seven Australian offices.
The cost of financial advice – and the cost structure – varies based on your individual situation. For example, many advisers charge a fixed, one-off fee for preparing your statement of advice (SoA), but charge an additional one-off fee to implement that advice. Ongoing investment management, on the other hand, is often charged as a percentage of the total value of assets under management.
You can find information about how an adviser receives compensation in their financial services guide (FSG). As an MiQ adviser, I’m paid in a number of different ways, including hourly rates and annual service fees. If I can’t provide more value than the cost of the advice, I’ll inform you as soon as possible.
No. MiQ Private Wealth is an AFS licensee, but we don’t provide property advice. Instead, we work closely with property professionals, such as buyer’s advocates, to help you identify the best investment property for your needs.
An approved product list (APL) is a list of financial products that an AFS licensee (like a financial adviser) has researched and approved. By finding and pre-approving high-quality products, AFS licensees can manage risk more effectively.
When you’re comparing financial advisers, look for a licensee that has a diverse APL with mostly unaffiliated products (like MiQ Private Wealth). Some licensees only offer a handful of products, which makes it unlikely that you’ll find the best possible product for you. Others only include affiliated products in their APLs – that is, products owned by their company or a related entity.
It’s also important to understand that, even with a broad APL, advisers can still push you towards products with higher commissions. If a financial adviser ever strongly recommends a certain product without any real justification, ask about their commission on that product and how it compares to their commissions on other products.
No. MiQ is an Australian-based wealth management firm, but we work with clients from around the world. Our Asian Business Unit, in particular, specialises in collaborating with clients from China, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Our advisers are also fluent in multiple languages: English, Mandarin (中文), Taiwanese (台語), Cantonese (廣東話) and, Japanese (日本語).
Building a financially secure future starts with finding the right adviser.
