The Wealth Lifecycle

A disciplined approach to navigating each stage of wealth…

How We Work

A Disciplined, Long-Term Partnership

Intrinsic Private Wealth is an independent, boutique advisory firm working with a select group of families, business owners and senior executives. We provide considered, long-term advice – helping clients make informed decisions to build, protect and transition wealth across market cycles and life stages.

Our Investment Philosophy

Capital Preservation First

We prioritise the protection of capital. Our approach focuses on managing downside risk and avoiding permanent loss, recognising this as fundamental to long-term wealth outcomes.

Absolute Return Focus

We focus on delivering consistent outcomes over time, rather than short-term benchmark comparison. Portfolios are constructed with an emphasis on participating in growth opportunities while maintaining resilience in more challenging market environments.

Valuation & Discipline

We place significant weight on valuation and risk-adjusted returns. This includes being selective in asset allocation, avoiding overpaying for assets, and maintaining flexibility when opportunities are limited.

Patience & Flexibility

We are not constrained to remain fully invested at all times. Maintaining liquidity and defensive positioning, where appropriate, allows us to respond to changing market conditions and deploy capital with discipline.

Advising Across the Wealth Lifecycle

Business Owners

We work alongside business owners to progressively diversify wealth, provide strategic input around valuation and succession, and support decision-making through ownership transition or sale – ensuring business value is effectively translated into long-term personal wealth.

Senior Executives & Private Clients

We advise senior executives and private clients on structuring and investing surplus capital, managing concentrated exposures, and building financial independence beyond employment or a single asset base.

Guidance at Key Points in Time

Our role is particularly important during periods of complexity or change, including:

  • Market volatility
  • Business transitions or liquidity events
  • Career changes or retirement
  • Intergenerational wealth planning

During these periods, we provide measured, objective advice aligned to each client’s long-term objectives

A Coordinated Advisory Model

Where appropriate, we work in conjunction with our clients’ existing professional advisers, including accountants and legal practitioners, to support aligned and well-informed outcomes.

A Long-Term Relationship

We act as a long-term partner to our clients, providing ongoing advice tailored to their evolving circumstances.

Our focus remains on disciplined decision-making, prudent risk management and the stewardship of capital over time.

Independent advice…  Disciplined investing…  Enduring partnerships.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the costs involved?
We calculate the cost based on how much work we do for you. A typical one-off project will cost between $5,000 – $10,000 based on the help that you need. Some of these costs may be paid out of superannuation.

How do financial advisors get paid? 
All staff at Intrinsic Private Wealth are remunerated by salary, with Directors also remunerated via distributions or profit share. We do not use products where commissions or any form of conflicted remuneration is paid.

Do you guys do everything for me?
Worki
ng with us is a partnership where we each have responsibilities. We hold the knowledge and will run the wealth system. There are however, some activities we can’t do on your behalf, which we’ll need to get you to do.

Do you have any affiliations with banks?
No, we are an independent, family owned & run business that does not have an affiliation with any bank. We have our own Australian financial services licence through MTR International Pty Ltd as trustee for the MTR International Unit Trust T/A Intrinsic Private Wealth (IPW), authorised representatives of Intrinsic Private Wealth Management Pty Ltd (AFSL NO. 480872).

Where can Justin & Ray meet you for meetings? 
We have offices in Sydney & Bowral, and we can of course meet via an online meeting or come to you where appropriate.

Can I trust a financial adviser?
Great question. To build trust in an adviser, as with as any relationship, you need to spend time together. Before we ask for a financial commitment, we’ll have at least three conversations with you first, where we’ll seek to understand if we are a good fit, understand what you are trying to achieve in life and present back what we can do, as well as the associated costs.
