Earnslaw Goodlight was founded to provide financial advice for those seeking a personal service that reflects their unique situation.
A roadmap built around your timeline
We don’t sell products, we manage journeys. Every client path at Earnslaw Goodlight is built on three core pillars:
1. Investment Planning
Designing a bespoke portfolio of shares, bonds, and funds that reflects your unique risk profile and ethical boundaries.
2. Retirement Planning
Building a consistent income stream from your assets, transitioning you from the accumulation phase to a life of passive income.
3. KiwiSaver Advice
Integrating your KiwiSaver into your total wealth picture, ensuring it’s an active part of your strategy rather than a forgotten account.
The Power of True Independence
Most New Zealanders receive “advice” from firms with links to in-house targets. We are different.
- Conflict-Free: We don’t earn commissions from providers. Our only obligation is to your outcomes.
- Custodial Safety: Your money is never “handed over.” It stays in a trust account in your name via NZX Wealth Technologies.
- Personal Proximity: You aren’t a number in a database. You are a person with real, genuine needs, and we work personally alongside you over time to meet them.
