Hobson Wealth is named in recognition of Captain William Hobson. Hobson Wealth embodies the same pioneering spirit, diligence and visionary leadership of New Zealand’s first Governor.
WHO WE ARE
Hobson Wealth is arguably NZ’s leading specialist private wealth advisory group. We have teams of private wealth advisers in Auckland, Tauranga, Wellington and Christchurch.
We’re Kiwi owned and operated: Warren Couillault , CEO, is the major shareholder and key team members in advisory, investments and operations are all shareholders.
Hobson Wealth enjoys a strategic relationship with the Macquarie Group.
Our executive management team and senior advisers literally have hundreds of years of collective expertise in financial markets. We’ve been through many notable market events, from the share market boom and subsequent crash in 1987 to the tech-wreck in the early 2000s to the GFC in 2008, the following ten-year bull market and of the course the coronavirus crash of 2020. We utilise this vast experience in our relationship with you to stay on top of every aspect of your investment objectives.
Hobson Wealth was originally known in New Zealand as Macquarie Private Wealth.
