Ashley Owen

External Adviser

“The traditional ‘buy & hold’, ‘set & forget’ theory can leave you behind for decades in the real world.”

Ashley is one of Australia’s leading portfolio managers of diversified investment funds for long term investors. His mission is to manage portfolios that provide investors with confidence that their investments will generate the wealth they need to live the life they wish to lead for the rest of their lives – for themselves, their families and as a legacy for future generations.

His primary focus is protecting investors from losses and risks, rather than chasing high returns from the latest hot funds or fads.
