Why It Matters
Planning for your retirement can be challenging and daunting. It’s a new experience, while it can seem simple on the surface you may have lots of questions swirling around in your mind.
The markets are shifting, governments are changing laws on a regular basis – are you protected if the industry you’re investing in changes quickly?
With over 30 years experience in the industry, I know all the ins and outs and all the dos and don’ts of the game. My passion is to help my clients create an investment plan that works for them. Our clients are invested in over 45 countries.
I can help you maximise your returns and make your money work hard for you so that you can enjoy a comfortable happy retirement lifestyle.
A Quick Story
A couple in their mid 60’s came to me wanting to secure the wealth they had built so it did not outlive them.
When they came to me, they had built some assets in property but as I say to all my clients – you can’t eat capital gains.
They needed a plan to make sure they could enjoy the retirement they had dreamt of without sleepless nights.
I was able to give them certainty about their spending power so they could make decisions with confidence.
They now live in Whangamata, waking up to the ocean breeze being able to focus on what they value and knowing that I am part of their team for life.
Don't just take it from me.
His strongest desire is to make a tangible difference for his clients and future generations of their family. John has a strong sense of family, he believes strongly in wanting to contribute back to the community.
I can honestly say I have not met a financial adviser where money is not the financial driver for him, it’s much more personal, it’s about making a difference. I’d recommend anyone who wants certainty in their financial investments talk to John."
There's no nonsense with John - if you want to succeed, he will help you do it and in doing so, you will meet and be assisted by one of the nicest and most professional people I know, who also lives by a set of principles steeped in integrity. A hard thing to find these days!
I strongly recommend you contact John and get to know him. You won't regret it."
John has been able to help our clients leverage and re-invest their hard-won gains, made both personally, and in business. John has been working in his area of Investment Expertise for a long- time, so has ridden all of those waves in the marketplace. He is committed to helping clients mitigate their investment risk, and in these days and times, his level-head and thorough but relatable approach to Investment are exactly what we all need.
He makes investing simple, effective and takes the worry away."

Meet John Milner
John grew up in West Auckland. His father was in multiple businesses. Over the years, he watched him and saw how companies affected the financial landscape.
After seeing friends and family invest in the share market as if they were playing Lotto (and winning like it as well), John realised the value of advice. He became eager to learn and help others succeed.
He started his career in the music business. Being part of international deals and seeing the industry fade over time, he learnt what worked and what didn't and gained an understanding of what a strong financial investment is.
John was then involved in retail. He worked with big companies like The BBQ Factory & Noel Leeming's when they were only in their early days.
He loved the excitement of growing these businesses from just 1 store into big retailers and got a taste of how businesses could be scaled.
From there, together with two business partners, John built a successful financial services business that became the gold standard in New Zealand.
Now John's boutique practice works with a small number of private clients. He enjoys working with them helping them create a retirement plan that works for them so that they won't outlive their money.
