History

Nouveau Wealth Management was formed in 2011 by Christopher Air, a practitioner in the financial services industry since 1989.

Chris Air has the following qualifications with FINSIA, Masters of Applied Finance & Investment (M App Fin), Graduate Diploma of Finance & Investment (G Dip App Fin) & Certificate of Applied Finance & Investment (G Cert App Fin). He is also a fellow of FINSIA ( F Fin).

The company was set up to provide a quality service at a reasonable cost. We believe that our core values including trust, integrity and loyalty are critical when complemented with our personal commitment to managing client portfolios.

In order to continue to provide excellent levels of service we will:

• deliver superior client service by providing sound advice time after time;
• promote the core values of teamwork; mutual respect and integrity;
• maintain a culture that recognises and rewards innovations; and;
• deploy technology appropriately to provide enhanced and competitive services

We are based in Adelaide but we source information from all over the globe.

Our motto is “Tomorrow’s Financial Planning Today”

We are proud to be based in the city of Adelaide, a city that has so much to offer, important global produce such as wines, yet unlike many other cities still retains much of its natural beauty (undeveloped coastal areas and significant inner city parklands). The city itself is easy to navigate with a bustling mall yet not overwhelming nor overly cluttered allowing little lost time due to traffic congestion.

However, we are aware that this city and indeed Australia is subject to external influences to which we have little control. Like it or not what happens in Europe, ASIA and the USA impact us much more than we would like to admit. It is important when designing client portfolios that we look at the global environment and make decisions that look at how that will affect our client’s portfolios. To do otherwise would be foolhardy at best.

Australia has benefitted from China & India’s massive growth and their hunger for our raw materials such as iron ore. Our wine sector has been buffeted by cheaper competing wines that have captured a significant amount of an export market that we once dominated in our own right. Europe and the USA are significant sources of capital so vital to our industries in particular our banking system. Liquidity shortages over recent years have sent shudders down the spine of our banking bosses and also government leaders.

This is our role in the current turbulent environment that we live in as we analyse events as they unfold and make calculating decisions designed to improve the wealth of our clients over the long term. We will not be lemmings following populist opinion but rather we will seek to take advantage of mispricing in the markets where we believe we can add value to client’s portfolios so long as we believe the risk level is satisfactory. “The herd may jump but we will not follow”.

In any investment process we will not always get it right, markets move quickly and events unfold that no-one could have imagined in foresight. September 11, 2001’s attack on the World Trade Center is one salient reminder of how the unexpected can derail even the best managed portfolios.

We at Nouveau Wealth Managment take our job seriously as we are custodians of our client’s monies, one of the most privileged positions we can take. Our aim is to manage that relationship diligently, effectively and honestly as best we can with the knowledge that we have to hand.
