A little bit about us.
Established in 2016 by Brad Blain & Shane Lenehan, Belfast Wealth Management is a boutique Financial Planning & Mortgage Broking firm with offices in Port Fairy & Warrnambool, Victoria.
This business was created with a "clients in control" philosophy, with a view of building a local, privately owned Financial Services business that puts you first and values the client relationship above all else.
We aim to deliver first class financial services to our clients in a dedicated, one on one fashion that ensures all of our clients are catered for individually. This is a deliberate move away from the large corporations and institutions that tend to control our financial lives. Far too often, people are left disillusioned and feeling like they are just another number.
Too many firms are simply sales agents for large corporations and we pride ourselves on being able to sit in front of you and offer quality advice, that is in your best interests.
Brad Blain || Managing Director
Brad began his career in the Financial Services industry in 2008 and has spent time at companies such as UBS, Australian Unity Investments and MLC. Much of Brad’s experience has been in the Funds Management space and has been driven by his passion for investment analytics and the broader investment markets.
Brad has long held the belief that traditional investment markets and a “set and forget” or one size fits all approach to investing is not the most efficient and transparent method of ensuring that clients are in control of their own funds. Through the use of technology and the latest portfolio management practices, Brad is passionate about creating unique client experiences when it comes to savings, superannuation and investments.
