About Us

Established in 1985, we have over 38 years of experience and currently manage over $2 billion in funds.
We are truly independent and have always been a commission-free financial planning and wealth management firm. Our thoughts about your future are governed by our uncompromised approach to designing bespoke investment strategies and a commitment to building long-standing client relationships based on trust, integrity, personal service, and longevity. We excel at understanding what stage of the journey clients are at, helping you articulate your objectives, so we can tailor solutions specific to your needs and ambitions. We believe there is never a once size fits all.
In the interests of full transparency, we typically manage portfolios from $1.5M - $20M in size, but like everything, there are always exceptions to the rule. Our robust research-based process and our values of independence, integrity, innovation, and expertise, are the guiding principles that overarch all of our future thinking. Bespoke strategies purpose-built for your financial future and governed by our direct investment philosophy, means you are always in control. Naturally, we're also proud to be recognised as one of Australia's most frequently awarded firms.

The Hewison Difference

What makes us different?
Independent since Inception. Bespoke by design.
We design bespoke investment portfolios for every client and manage their affairs as if they were our own. Clients take comfort in our direct investment approach which provides them with ultimate 'hands-on-the-wheel' control, flexibility, and discretion. Clients will never be presented with an 'off-the-shelf model' portfolio or have a risk profile applied to an investment recommendation. Each portfolio is constructed with great care with individual goals and objectives remaining at the heart of all advice. Once established,
portfolios are conducted through Individually Managed Accounts (IMA's) and efficiently administered by a team and processes refined over 37 years. We are privately owned by executives who work within the business. Our strong succession plan sees successful Advisers progressively offered equity participation. This guarantees the long-term ownership of Hewison Private Wealth is a fiercely independent, privately-owned company, providing clients with the comfort that their best interests will always be served.
