FYG Planners are pleased to announce Ritch Life Advice have joined our financial services licensee.
Ritch Life Advice is a privately owned financial planning practice operated by Wade Ritchie in Melbourne.
Wade holds a Diploma of Financial Planning from Deakin University, a Master of Personal Financial Planning from USQ, a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) with first class honours from James Cook University along with the CFP® and LRS® designations.
With over 18 years of financial services experience, Wade was previously a Private Client Adviser at Shadforth Financial Group for 15 years.
Upon starting his own business, Wade wanted to ensure the client remained at the forefront of everything Ritch Life Advice did.
“Ritch Life Advice as the name suggests, focuses on providing advice that empowers clients to live rich and fulling lives.” Mr Ritchie said
“We provide clarity and leadership with the advice provided that allows clients to live more confidently.”
There were several non-negotiables for Ritch Life Advice when settling on a licensee, all aligning with the FYG Planners philosophy.
“I wanted to run my own privately owned business which would give the flexibility and freedom to provide high quality advice free from conflicts (potential or real) and free from institutional influence.” Mr Ritchie said.
“As an ex Mechanical Engineer it was critical for my licencee to provide access to and support of an evidence based investment approach and FYG Planners was a natural fit for me because of this.”
FYG Planners Managing Director Peter Mancell was thrilled Ritch Life Advice elected to partner with FYG.
“It’s great to have someone of Wade’s caliber join the licensee, he has a strong background and comes highly recommended.” Mr Mancell said.
“Importantly, we share the same client first mindset and evidence based investment philosophy.”
“It’s also good to be building our adviser numbers in Melbourne, making for stronger adviser ties, along with study and learning opportunities.”
Investors looking for high quality advice can find Wade at Ritch Life Advice.
