About

Home Advantage was created to help everyday Kiwis improve their financial wellbeing and set out on a pathway towards financial independence at, or prior to, retirement.

It is a great travesty that up to 90% of Kiwis are not sorted at retirement, and we want to change that.

Once we understand your current financial position and goals, our team of experienced financial advisers and a supporting cast of personal finance specialists work seamlessly behind the scenes for you. Our team includes a wide variety of client-centric financial advisers, accountants, solicitors, property specialists, and wealth creation coaches.

Opening my own business, financial independence, and early retirement has always appealed to me. Having achieved all by the age of 43, I wondered what was next? Following an extended sabbatical period, travelling and qualifying as a Pro scuba diver, I’ve returned to my core passion. The business of empowering others to achieve their dreams. With a reputation for superior customer service, reliability and a transparent communication style, I’m delighted to be of service.

Originally from the UK, Martin entered the world of Financial Planning and Investing at the age of 28.  Since then, Martin has introduced hundreds of clients to the world of portfolios, pensions and now KiwiSaver. Martin founded Fusion Investing, a boutique Financial Planning company where the philosophy is one of embracing all the expertise in the industry, rather than trying to select “the best”. Martin also developed the Multi-Manager Strategy where all New Zealand’s top fund managers are used simultaneously to create reliable outcomes – the strategy he still uses to create portfolios and retirement savings for clients.
