Welcome, my name is Chris Haggart.
I have been a non-aligned financial adviser since 2009. In 2014 I set my own advice firm with the aim of providing honest, client focused advice which aligned with my views on what financial planning should be.
In 2019 I joined Independent Wealth Partners to become one of the few, truly independent financial advisors in the country.
No Insurance company, bank or other firm has a vested interest in our business. We are a fee only professional practice, who’s advice is based on your best interest alone.
Our primary goal is to help people live meaningful, fulfilled lives without worrying about money. We do this by ensuring we know who you are first, taking the time to understand your values, beliefs and drivers before overlaying ‘the money’.
I have completed a Master’s degree in Finance, a Bachelors Degree in Biotechnology, as well as my Diploma of Financial Planning. Am I authorised and regulated? Yes - but please check https://moneysmart.gov.au/financial-advice/financial-advisers-register
My interests include CrossFit, Essendon Football Club, Newcastle United Football Club and spending time with my wife Naomi and our beautiful daughter Eve.
I am passionate about making a positive difference in the world. Please visit the I’m Listening website to help us address the world’s gender equality issues.
I love listening to classical music and reading science fiction. I am attempting to master the art of acoustic guitar and speaking French.
Podcast addict. Life learner.
