Do you have a windfall readily available (perhaps from a property sale or an inheritance), and would like to put it to work? Lump-sum investing may be for you.
Simply put, a lump-sum investment allows you to invest an entire amount (a lump sum) into a chosen portfolio service.
Typically, this approach is suitable for investors who have a significant sum of money, readily available for long-term investment. Timed right and with a reasonable timeframe, lump-sum investments can yield comparatively higher returns than a regular payment investment plan. As an example, if you invested $20,000 ten years ago, today you'd likely be better off than someone who contributed the same amount ($20,000) but did so in smaller amounts as a regular investment plan, rather than as an initial lump sum, over the same 10-year period. The success of the lump-sum strategy depends on what the market is doing, as well as when the lump sum is invested and when it is needed.
At Tonkin Financial, we partner with ANZ's OneAnswer – a highly regarded lump-sum investment platform that provides investors with flexibility and an extensive range of investment options, including New Zealand and international equities, fixed interest and cash.
As your adviser, we'll help you work out what to invest in to build a diversified portfolio, and when to buy and sell investments. Then, we'll liaise directly with OneAnswer to carry out the instructions on your behalf.

At Tonkin Financial, we’re committed to developing long-term client relationships and delivering outstanding service. We believe - strongly - that financial advice is an ongoing relationship: it starts with sound, tailored advice for our clients' needs, but continues over the longer term with guidance as needs and goals change.
We specialise in providing financial advice to medical professionals employed by Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora in the Greater Auckland region. Over the past 30 years we have developed extensive understanding as to how we can best support the financial advice needs of medical professionals, and provide high quality advice for their financial life and plans.
Financial advice provides many benefits, as relevant to the needs of individual clients. But perhaps the common benefit experienced by those who seek financial advice is this: it is an opportunity to take the time to discuss in-depth your financial life and circumstances with an expert; an opportunity to take stock of where you are, what you want to achieve, any challenges, and solutions you are looking for.
Financial advice is not solely about 'product' - i.e. types of investments, types of insurance etc - rather it is about accessing the knowledge of an experienced professional who can apply their expertise to your individual circumstances and aspirations, and make well-informed recommendations for your financial life.

Yes – it’s never too early or too late to invest a lump sum. Of course, the sooner you start, the longer your money has to grow.
Rather than being appropriate for a specific age, lump-sum investing is usually driven by a specific life event. For example, you may have sold an asset (e.g. your house), received an inheritance, or your term deposit has finally matured. In all these cases, lump-sum investing can help you put that windfall to work.

We usually get a commission fee for our advice on DHB Superannuation, KiwiSaver and insurance. For broader financial planning or advice on lump-sum investment plans, we may either charge clients an hourly rate of $200 +GST per hour or a one-off fee, based on the client’s requirements.
We will discuss the fee rates with you in an open manner during our initial meeting.
