RICH IDEAS GROUP FOUNDER
Who are you? What do you think about? What is your relationship to money? These and many more questions, have a huge impact on you and your family reaching your financial goals. Telling you what to think and what to do, is not my business. Rather it is to work alongside you, so that reaching your goals is as easy as possible.
Gavin Lewin
FINANCIAL PLANNER FOR PROFESSIONALS
Having been in the financial services industry for 31 years now, I’ve have literally heard and seen it all. So, whether you’re fully in control of your financial life or your financial life is so chaotic that you don’t know where to turn to, I can help you make sense of it all. If it’s a no-nonsense, transparent and long-term financial planning partner you are looking for, you’ve come to the right place.
Melissa Weber
PARA-PLANNER TO GAVIN LEWIN AND ASSOCIATE FINANCIAL PLANNER
After having a recent widow cry in my office because she was overwhelmed by all the tasks to get her widow’s pension in her emotional state, I became passionate about helping South African women manage their finances. Whether single or married I understand that finance is emotional and having someone else help you, minimises that. Think of me as your knowledgeable friend who will ask you the difficult questions, simplify the tricky lingo and help you make the best decisions to achieve your goals
Philip van der Merwe
FINANCIAL ADVISOR
Working with dads, between 30 to 40 years of age is where I do my best work.
As a dad myself, I know the transitions you are going through. Having someone to discuss family, kids, financial future and concerns on the journey that lie ahead.
So, by “being in his shoes” I understand what he is going through and therefore I will be better able to help him achieve his financial goals and ease his concerns.
The Financial Advisors and Planners at Rich Ideas, are fee based. This means we focus on you and not product providers.
Much the same as other professional practitioners we charge a professional fee based on the time and effort we spend in preparing opinions, proposals and research.
We unfortunately cannot merely prepare proposals with detailed solutions and recommendations without compensation. We believe that our solutions and recommendations stand apart from products that can be used to meet the planning requirements and must be remunerated as such.
This also prevents the bias to recommend solutions which are tailored to sell products and keeps us focused on you.
