we trust.

In today’s world a lot of businesses promise a premium experience but are found lacking when it matters most. The Collective is not one of those groups. Their experience, precision and discretion are evident early on and once engaged demonstrate a rigorous ability to future proof multiple scenarios which has secured and protected my family. Beyond just wealth management, they offer a total understanding of the challenges in planning for the future.

My family and I have for over 20 years engaged The Collective as the circumstances required and problems have arose. Throughout that time their Principal has managed our investments and family assets ensuring their protection and long term growth whilst balancing our shorter term needs. They have overseen legal work maximising our outcomes, driven the strategy during our various dealings with the ATO and worked within the family to ensure ongoing personal success.
The Collective has allowed us to remain focused on what we do well by removing problems and issues that can distract and divide, particularly when success is an issue. Our relationship continues because of their fearless advice, intimate understanding of our world and the ability to deal with the problems we encounter.

Having used the services of The Collective for over 15 years I am very comfortable in recommending them for those seeking the highest levels of professional assistance. Their specialist advice is not only some of the best I have seen but their confidentiality and practice of trust is beyond reproach.

For years my parents used the services of Michael and his recommended lawyers to manage and protect their financial affairs. It was not until their passing that the true benefits of their work were laid bare. The structures put in place ensured the passage of their assets in the manner they wanted and the much anticipated challenge to their estates did not occur. They continue to manage our family assets with the structures in place that protect what is mine and my daughter’s.

A career spanning the RAAF, Politics and Business led us to seek out a person in whom we could trust to guide us into and through retirement. For 20 years now Michael and the other members of the Collective have looked after our investments and superannuation funds with integrity and privacy. A long standing relationship and friendship has ensued. They were of special assistance during the sale of a number of assets and our most recent transition to the South Coast.
They recently guided us through the Estate Planning pathway and introduced us to targeted specialists in the Legal field, whilst also assisting directly in the resolution of problems that arose within the family. With these now settled and the family at ease we look forward to enjoying the future and what it holds. Their ability to enlist specialist assistance as needed has served our family well and we recommend them to anyone seeking the same.

We are more than happy to support The Collective through our primary representative, Michael Brown. Michael started with us over 15 years ago looking after a specific segment of our financial portfolio and through his excellent results has assumed full responsibility for our total portfolio. Over the years The Collective has also assisted us with personal and family advice and our Estate Planning requirements. Throughout our daughter’s separation and divorce their management, guidance, Legal connections and Andrew Gorton’s security team ensured that over these past two years that the family unit was secure and supported. It was a complex and emotional matter that was handled professionally and obviously, was greatly appreciated by us all. For us the security of our only daughter and 4 grandchildren is paramount. We have full confidence with The Collective supporting our family in future years and would commend them to you.
