Supporting you, the client
We want to make sure clients avoid the noise and pitfalls that destroy wealth.
We seek to eliminate the risks for which investors are not compensated and accept those that provide positive expected returns.
We are professionals with Chartered Accounting and Certified Financial Planning qualifications and use our rigorous investment philosophy and access to the world’s best academic research to ensure client portfolios are commendably constructed using science rather than speculation.
We strongly don’t believe in pushing products, commissions or being the distributor for someone else. We are proudly a fee for service privately owned practice, and believe this is very important for clients.

Advice Team Support
How much does a financial advisor cost?
After our discovery meeting, we will provide you with a ‘terms of engagement’. At Arch Capital we charge fees for the initial and any additional strategy advice, and ensure that your investment costs are world class and altogether reasonably priced
How do financial advisors get paid?
All staff at Arch Capital are rewarded via salary, with owners also remunerated via distributions or profits form the business. Staff are also offered employee shares. We do not accept or use products that reward us via commission or any form of conflicted remuneration.
What is value based investing?
At Arch Capital, we use evidence and science as a basis for constructing portfolios rather than market trajectory predictions made by investment managers with high fees. We take pride in offering you greater certainty, reliability, and a better chance of success with lower costs.
Where can Nigel and the team you meet for meetings?
We have offices in Mona Vale and Sydney CBD and can of course meet via an online meeting.
