A significant portion of New Zealand’s wealth is held by those of retirement age. Many will choose to pass it on to the next generation and support the charitable causes to their heart.
An essential part of your clients’ future planning will be to consider how and when to transfer their wealth, who will benefit and how they can get the maximum enjoyment from it. We can provide a variety of giving options for your clients, on a timeframe which suits them best.
We work alongside you and are here to answer your questions.

Vicki Haylock is a third generation Chartered Accountant and former CEO of Taranaki Foundation. When her Uncle Basil Clarke passed away, she decided to establish a Fund in his memory.
“Uncle Basil didn’t have children of his own, so this fund is a wonderful way for his legacy to go on. Having a fund in his name allows his contributions to medicine to be remembered and means his work supporting the health of the community can be continued”.
