Leading Advice

Leading Advice is a family-run financial advisory firm dedicated to helping individuals and families make confident financial decisions. Trusted since 1982.

We provide personalised advice across investments, super, retirement and insurance. Leading Advice (www.leadingadvice.com.au) is a family-run financial advisory firm that helps its clients and their families build and protect their wealth, now and into the future. Led by married couple, Gerard and Katrina Haskew, the team at Leading Advice understands firsthand the financial challenges facing fami

lies. We use this knowledge to apply a long-term and holistic approach that helps you create the lifestyle you desire for you and your loved ones. This includes measures that will protect you from the unexpected. We believe a dual approach, which builds and protects, is the best way to achieve your financial success and create the greatest number of lifestyle options for you and your family at every life stage. In terms of building your wealth, we help you to create real and sustainable wealth outside of the family home. This begins by developing your personal and financial goals, and then creating an investment portfolio with multiple streams of passive income that will help you to achieve these goals. We actively manage your super portfolio throughout the process, mentor you through any changes that may arise, and provide you with financial advice around a range of important life events such as marriage, children, career changes, divorce, education, and anything else that may come along. In terms of protecting your wealth, we also structure a tailored Personal Protection Portfolio that protects you and your family from the unexpected. We strongly believe any wealth creation strategy is futile without a quality risk mitigation strategy in place as insurance. Right from our inception in 1982 (originally named “Henry Financial Services”), the team at Leading Advice has been fully committed to going above and beyond understand the unique challenges facing you, our clients. We understand that receiving financial advice is a highly personal experience. Our aim is to provide a consistently friendly and personalised approach to formulating your financial game plan and working with you to achieve your life’s dreams. We believe it’s never too early or late to begin planning for the future you’ve always wanted.

Less than 30 days until EOFY.

At this stage of June, things tend to move quickly - and small details start to matter more.

Super contributions, investment reviews, processing times, paperwork… the closer we get to the 30th June, the less flexibility there tends to be.

EOFY planning isn’t always about making major changes. Often, it’s simply about making sure nothing important gets missed before the deadline passes.

Today, Sri Madhavan had the opportunity to present at BNI Sensation and share some insights into the work we do at Leading Advice.

Financial planning is about more than individual strategies or products. It’s about helping people understand where they stand today, where they want to be in the future, and the decisions that can help bridge that gap.

Thank you to BNI Australia for the opportunity and to the members for their engagement throughout the presentation.

We always appreciate the opportunity to connect with other professionals, share knowledge, and contribute to meaningful conversations around financial wellbeing.

One of the biggest EOFY mistakes isn't making the wrong decision.

It's waiting too long to make one at all.

Every year, June seems to move faster than expected - and what felt manageable at the start of the month can quickly become difficult once processing times, paperwork, and deadlines start to close in.

Whether it's super contributions, investment decisions, or simply reviewing where things stand, timing matters more as the 30th June approaches.

How do you invest with confidence when markets feel uncertain?

It’s a question we hear often - especially when there’s a lot happening globally.

The answer isn’t about predicting what markets will do next.

It’s about having a structured approach:

- A clear plan
- Discipline during market movements
- The ability to ignore short-term noise
- Guidance when you need it

Uncertainty is part of investing.

Confidence comes from knowing your strategy is built to handle it.

If you’re unsure whether your current approach is giving you that confidence, contact us via the link in our bio.

Why diversification matters more than ever.

With everything happening in the markets right now, it’s easy to feel uncertain.

This is where diversification becomes critical.

A well-diversified portfolio:

- Spreads risk across different investments
- Reduces reliance on any one market
- Helps smooth returns over time

It doesn’t eliminate volatility - but it helps manage it.

And more importantly, it helps you stay invested when markets are moving.

26/05/2026

What should you do during market volatility?

When markets move, it’s easy to feel like you need to do something.

But often, the most effective approach is staying focused on the fundamentals.

Here’s what matters:

- Stay invested
- Review your strategy - not react to headlines
- Stay diversified
- Focus on your long-term plan

Volatility is part of investing - it’s expected, not exceptional.

The key is having a strategy that’s built to navigate it.
