HENRY PAYNE
Wealth Associate Adviser
(FSP1012697)
Henry joined Stewart Group in June 2026 as a Wealth Associate Adviser, beginning his path toward full advisory responsibilities. He works alongside experienced advisers across a range of client situations, developing the judgement needed to guide individuals and families through the decisions that shape their financial future.
Henry believes that the best financial advice doesn't just solve problems, it changes how people feel about their future. Early in his career, Henry has been deliberate about learning the craft from the ground up, with a focus on understanding both the technical side of advice and the real-life context behind each client’s goals. He acts as both a translator and a steady presence, taking complex or unfamiliar ideas and making them clear, practical and manageable.
Before joining Stewart Group, Henry built experience across financial services and investment, including time at Sharesies and Evergreen Advice. He holds an NZX Participant Qualification, gained through direct experience trading on the New Zealand Exchange. An earlier background in facilities management gave him a grounded appreciation for the long-term thinking required to protect important assets.
Outside work, Henry is a dedicated family man with two young children. He enjoys getting outdoors with his family, playing sport, and has recently taken up vegetable gardening. The same consistency and care he brings to those pursuits shows up in how he works with clients.
