Testimonials

Ben Hackett has been my wife and I’s financial planner for a few years now. Not only have we had really strong investment returns throughout the last few years, but Ben has kept us grounded on the road to buy our first home and has given us some great advice around the FHSSS. For us we wanted a financial planner we could relate to and know we can trust to help our family make great decisions for now and in our future.

I am writing to convey the positive experience that I have had and continue to have with Ben Hackett of Ord Minnett. Ben initially prepared a recommendation for my family's financial future, based on current position vs his proposed changes that he believed would provide the best long-term outcome. His recommendations have all been sound and we are moving in the right direction. Ben considers our thoughts and provides considered options that play across differing levels of risk, depending on our appetite. Ben has also been active in including us in seminars that he knew would be of interest and regularly checks in to see how we are doing. I would recommend getting in contact to discuss options available.

This is a review for Ben Hackett from Ord Minnett. I am a retired teacher. I transferred my Super to Ord Minnett when I retired. I have followed Ben's advice at every step and, as a result of this, the portfolio has been performing much better than when my Super was in my Industry fund. Ben keeps me informed when he sees an opportunity to adjust my investments, always accompanying his advice with a thorough breakdown of the reasons for the changes. Ben is very easy to talk with and his advice has proved to be very sound. I recommend Ben as a personable, competent and reliable wealth manager.
