Financial Advisers in Hawke’s Bay and Wellington
YOUR FINANCIAL STEWARDS
Why Stewart Group?
-
We are independent, non-aligned, and fees-only. We put your needs first and work together with you to achieve your financial goals.
Fee-only service means we do not receive product-based commissions, which means you don’t have to worry about any conflicting interests in your investment portfolio. We will find the right solution for your goals and timeframe based on our scientific, evidence-based approach and industry-leading research.
-
Our CEFEX certification shows our dedication to going above and beyond to provide the best possible standard of care and service we can.
CEFEX certification is not mandatory for financial advice providers. We chose to become CEFEX accredited and have our practices annually audited by independent research analysts, to foster a culture of continual improvement and show our commitment to best industry practice.
There are 8 CEFEX certified firms in New Zealand, and 2 in Hawke’s Bay - one of which is Stewart Group.
-
Our dedicated team of Financial Advisers have expertise spanning financial planning, wealth management, ethical and socially responsible (ESG, SRI) investments, Booster KiwiSaver Scheme, Australian Superannuation transfers, UK Pension transfers, Trusts, and more.
Celebrating 38 years of client-first, fee-only financial advisory services
We look a little different than we did in 1987 when Don Stewart opened the doors to DL Stewart and Associates, with the goal of providing personalised investment and financial advice to his clients from the heart of Hastings.
One thing hasn’t changed - the personal attention and care given to each client.
“An investment philosophy serves as a compass to guide you through turbulent times. When you have a working compass, it doesn’t take drastic directional changes to find your way. ”
Rory O’Neill (Director,General Manager) & Nick Stewart (CEO) at 204 Karamu Road North

Robert Burns believed wisdom belonged to everyone, not just the elite. Fast forward to today, and KiwiSaver reflects that same egalitarian spirit in finance. This article explores how Burns’ radical accessibility parallels the democratisation of investing in New Zealand. KiwiSaver isn’t just a savings scheme – it’s a structural shift that empowers every Kiwi to build wealth collectively. Discover why emotional intelligence and wise counsel matter as much as financial literacy.
