It is my experience that most medical practitioners, indeed most professionals, have little time to gain knowledge and wisdom in affairs outside their own profession. This particularly applies to financial affairs and related matters where the rapidly changing world demands very lengthy study in order to achieve and maintain expertise.
It was by good fortune that, in 1989, Richard Trethewie took over the guidance and management of the financial affairs of both my wife and myself. Richard has always provided sound and sensible guidance. The level of expertise, financial wisdom and quality of service has risen to new heights since he established Trethewie and Partners Pty. Ltd in Launceston. He and his competent staff have helped us establish a level of financial security that allows us to enjoy confidence, peace of mind and tranquility in our retirement.
It is particularly gratifying to acknowledge that now, twelve years into retirement, we have been able to leave the management of our retirement funds completely in the hands of Richard and his team.
I am aware, very sadly, that many of my friends and colleagues who have chosen to manage their own retirement funds or rely on more adventurous financial advisers are now suffering severe financial losses associated with heart breaking stresses.
It is remarkable to be able to note that, despite two world financial catastrophes, predictions made twelve years ago on the state of our financial affairs are now accurate to a fraction over one percent.
It is without hesitation that I would recommend Richard Trethewie and his team to anyone seeking advice, guidance or wisdom in matters relating to Superannuation or other financial affairs.
